klinker</span>) for a type of brick whose firing at particularly high heat was imported from the Netherlands. It is based on the Dutch verb <span style="font-style: italic;">klink-</span> (<span style="font-style: italic;">
klinken</span> ) 'to sound' (German <span style="font-style: italic;">kling-</span>, Eastern Central German <span style="font-style: italic;">klink- </span>), probably because these types of hard bricks produce a ringing sound when hit.

<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font size="2">In discussing the Low Saxon word 'winsch' you
seem to have touched upon the plautdietsch adjective 'winksch.'
which carries about the same meaning. In Plautdietsch the word
'winksch' (adjective), describes an object as being out-of shape or
off-square, hindering its fit where it should fit. I am not familiar
with </font></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><font size="2">the usage of 'winksch' as an adverb,
but I could readily accommodate that usage.</font></div>
