<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Numerous
Dutch dialects also have this word "weeg" for an internal wall. Weeg
is cognate with Latin viere (to weave, to wind), Old Church Slavonic
"viti" (to weave). Western Flemish uses "weeg" in the
figurative sense of peritoneum (fleece like structure in one's tummy).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Interesting
in this respect is the name for Cimex lectularius, a sort of louse. In
some dialects it's called a "weegluis", but in most it's a
"wandluis" (pronounced "walloës" (B)).</span></p>
