Dear Ron,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> Yes, I thought that it was strange that "ticht" would
mean open too. I looked up "ticht" in the glossary of P. Sipma's
"Phonology and Grammar of Modern West Frisian", 1913, second edition
1966.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
"Ticht" is defined as close, dense. I suppose that it would be
cognate to tight. So you were right to think that something was odd.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Incidentally, in Faroese, West North Germanic, the word for tight,
dense, close-packed is "taettur". "Taettur" stands in contrast to
"tjukkur"; thick or stout. Going back to our Frisian friend, "ticht",
we also find "tsjok" (thick) in contrast.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
It is my pleasure to read the Lowland blog, As you can see by my email address, </span><a style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" href="mailto:manbythewater@hotmail.com">manbythewater@hotmail.com</a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">, I am also a Lowlander by the sea in peninsular New Jersey.</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
Yours truly,</span><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
