Chuff is related to chafe (meaning to warm up by rubbing). Except it's not
hands that are getting warm. And pleased.</span></i><span style="font-size: 11pt; color: black;"></span></div>

<p style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt;">Sounds
reasonable. To chuff, chafe < chauffer (French) = to warm up. The French
word got stuck in Brabantish as well: "schaven" (B) ~
"schouden"/"schouwen" (D, wash something in boiling water)
< Old French "échauder", to heat up. Same root as
"chauffeur", stoker of a steam engine.</span></p>

niet beter met dit woord <i>roet.</i> Misschien dat de r (van Surtr) is
verschoven tot voor de u en de s- weg is gevallen??? Jij zal het beter weten.
Vertel me even de volgende over het woord <i>rood</i>. Is dit woord verwant aan
het Engels woord <i>read</i>? De oude runen was vaak in het rood geschreven
(bloed). Deze runen noemen we ook staven. Nu in het Engels kennen we ook een <i>rod</i>
(staaf). Ik wil nu vermoeden dat het Engels woord <i>read </i>verband houd met
de kleur <i>rood</i> en dat dit woord komt uit het gebruik van de oude runen.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;" lang="NL"></span></p>
