Dear Ron and Lowlanders,

In Western Flanders everybody now uses the word 'brem', but some decades
ago we also used the words 'ginst(e)  / genst(e)' and 'brom / broem'.  Not
far from here there are  toponyms called 'De Ginste / Ginsteberg' . In
Plombières (near Germany) there is a place called 'Gensterbloem'. The
flowers were called 'papen'.
And there are words like 'brombilk (brombulk) / bromboer / bromzaad'

Groetjes,

Luc Vanbrabant
Oekene

name *brem* ([brɛm])

I'm confused since Dutch has as well brem as braam
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brem_(plant)
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braam_(plant)

In my Limburgish (Vliermaal) we used:
"broemele" for Dutch "braambessen" (blackberries)
We used "breime" as generic for large picking plants, making passthrough
virtually impossible.

I don't know the dialect word for the Dutch "brem". I think it was growing
in the sandy "Kempen" but not in the clayground of my "Haspengouw"

Regards,
Roger
