hebben de Kinner männigmal ehr Last mit.
Ok ick güng dunnmals mit 'n Tornüster in de Schaul. De Dierns un de Jungens
ehr Tornüster wieren ünnerscheidlich, ja, un de Tornüster wier ut echt
Ledder. Tau Wintertied sünd wi Gören  bi Snei un Küll up den'n Tornüster
sitten gahn un von de lütten Bargen rodelt. Un wenn ick later den Tornüster
tau Huus upklappte, wier Snei mank de Bäuker un binah Däuwedder in de
Schaultasch.



When I was a kid, speaking about a satchel, we always used the term "kabas"
(Ranzen (G), also ransel in some Dutch dialects)



kabas < cabas (Occitan) < capax (Latin ~ capere, to contain)



Some also called it their "calepin" (French pronunciation) < Ambrogio
Calepino, Italian lexicographer, born 1435.



Kind greetings,



Luc Hellinckx, Halle, Belgium
