<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial; color: black;">Interesting!
I thought the Dutch expression 'tjokvol' was exactly that, a Dutch expression!
Have never met it in any other (Germanic) language... (judging on the /tj/, I
would guess it's frisian though?)<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">That's what
I always assumed. In Westerlauwer Frisian "tsjok" means fat (an Old
Frisian breaking of i to ju, as also in rjocht, fjochtsje (right , fight)
before ch or k, that was followed by a labial, also Fering has "tjok"
e.g.) from West Germanic "*thik(w)"; nowadays for people we use
"grou" (a cognate of Dutch "grof"), and for porridge and
such more liquid substances we can say it is "tsjok". But maybe it
can be related to "choke" and would the Dutch word be an English
loan? I wouldn't really say "tsjokfol" in WF (though it is possible I
believe) but "stiiffol" or "aaifol" [full as an egg], for
very full. </span></p>
