<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Tantalizing question you put there. In my opinion (but who
knows?) there is no relation between <i>uksel</i> and <i>oksel</i>. <i>Oksel
</i>does not seem to be suffix-formation like <i>uksel</i>, which is derived
from the root of the verb Middle Dutch <i>jucken</i>, followed by the rather
common suffix -<i>sel</i>. This suffix is extant in a number of words in
Getelands: <i>blauwsel</i>, pron. bla:tsel; <i>boemsel</i> "boenwas"
< <i>boemen </i>"boenen", <i>heisel </i>"zuurdesem,
zuurdeeg",,MDutch <i>heefsel</i> < heffen; <i>hetsel</i> <i>, </i>"bussel
droge twijgen, takjes gebruikt om de bakoven te stoken" , Kiliaan <i>heytsel
</i>< <i>heten </i>"verwarmen"; <i>schutsel</i> "schutting,
heining; schot" <<i>schutten; vodsel</i>, pron. vutsel "korte
sok" < <i>vodsel</i></span></p>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">I'd never
heard of it till your post. From Old English "ohsta" according to the

have you heard it?</span></p>
