""Puddock" or "puddy" is still a common word in Scots for a frog or toad."<br>

In Flemish dialects a frog is referred to as "ne puit'. In Standard
Dutch the name for the eelpout (a long fish) is "puitaal", so "frog
eel". </span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
I wonder if this 'puit / pout' is related to 'pad / paddock / puddy'.
The presence of devoiced /t/ and the diphthong make this unlikely.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
