<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><div style="direction: ltr; font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Responding to Marcus, Jonny scrievit:<br><br>> > Still in the end of the 1980ies when I was a little boy my mother
<br>> > brought me to a woman, who had to bespeak (is this the right word? In<br>> > German "besprechen") my warts (they vanished after it).<br>><br>> The LS-word is 'raden'/'roden', wordly translated into G: 'raten', meaning
<br>> both 'to advise' or 'to guess'. I'd also like to know the correct English<br>> word for these 'magic' matters.<br><br>The
verb in standard English would be 'charm', I think, though there are
several regional dialects in which the verb 'hex' would also be okay.
Phrases would be 'she charmed off/away the wart', or 'she can hex away
warts', and sometimes 'she's a wart doctor' (an encoded way of saying
she's a witch/wise-woman).<br></div><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br>Margaret<br><br></span>
