Marcus, "meal" meaning "flour" might be known to some
people interested in beer: "Oatmeal Stout" is popular among some
people (including myself. I wonder if "oat flour" is used at all or
whether "oat" (German: "Hafer") always is connected with
"meal"? Btw, what is the ethymology for the other "meal"
(connected to German "Mahl", LS "mal")? No connection to
"Mehl" at all??? </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">You were
also looking for "GrötT" as a bridge between Low Saxon
"Grütt" and and "Gört/Gött". "Gröt" is actually
the Swedish word corresponding to "grits" and "Grütze". My
ethymology won't tell whether it is a loan from Low Saxon during the middle
ages (as many Swedish words) or whether it was present in old Norse even
before. The fact that the Icelanders use "grautr" might indicate that
it is an older word with common pangermanic roots. "Grus" is the
Swedish word for coarsly grinded stone.</span></p>
