<span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">Hi Elsie, "Schoorsteen" is
derived from the verb "schoren" which means something like "to
hold upright" If you build a schoorsteen in the middle of your house
(hovel is maybe a better choice of words here) it will keep standing. There is
also a word "scheerlijn" which means a line used to keep a
sail straight.</span></font></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">I remember a fatal invention of a "scheerlijn"
which my friend Loes and I applied between the two tent poles of our tent to
keep the top flyer from sagging onto the tent proper. We did this so that the
inner tent would remain dry in case of rain.. We were "camping" in
the dunes of the Isle of Texel. Unfortunately it started raining. The string
shrunk and finally broke. The whole tent (which we had baptized the "Zwangere
Zeug" ) collapsed and left us in a puddle. We had to flee to the hotel
where my parents were staying. My father used the opportunity to give me a
lecture in mechanics, my mother ordered hot chocolate.</span></font></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">I do not know whether "schoor"
as wet-land outside the dikes and "schoor" as in schoorsteen have
anything to do with each other. </span></font></p>
<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font color="navy" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy;">I would not be surprised. Jacqueline</span></font><br></p><font style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" color="#888888">
