<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt; font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Hello
LL-Lers,<br>
<br>
I was just reading an article<br>
(<a href="http://www.hervormdrijssen.nl/schildkerk-historie.html" target="_blank">http://www.hervormdrijssen.nl/schildkerk-historie.html</a>)
about the<br>
Schildkerk, the oldest church in my hometown. It contains a reference<br>
to the reformation, which came to Rijssen in 1598 (kinda late). Some<br>
masons from Deventer
were contracted to remodel the church, their job<br>
was “dat de kercken so haast enichzins soenlick gesuvert sullen<br>
werden”. I can understand most of that, but am stuck on the word<br>
"soenlick". My first thought was it meant "zoenlijk", as
the contrary<br>
of "onverzoeklijk", but that doesn't make sense. If it means<br>
"mogelijk", it makes sense, but then what did<br>
"zoenlijk"/"onverzoenlijk" originally mean?<br>
<br>
By the way, when looking up the word on Google, I came across a late<br>
14th century Dutch text. It uses sc- where Dutch currently has sch-,<br>
for example "gescreven" (geschreven), "bescreiden"
(beschrijden). I'm<br>
sure the c is pronounced k, because it is used in places where modern<br>
Dutch has k. It also has ch in places where modern Dutch still has ch<br>
or g. So when people call my sk- incorrect again, I'm gonna slap them<br>
with this haha.<br>
<br>
Another thing that struck me, is that the inscription of the church<br>
bell is in Saxon:<br>
<br>
“1943, wat’nen tied. Oorlog, mooie klokke kwiet.<br>
Riessen 7 eeuw’n stad. 5 joar later fees ‘e had.<br>
Op det fees zin ik geboor’n.<br>
’t Volgend joar hùn’k al in toorn.<br>
‘k Luu biej vuurspood, teeg’nslag.<br>
‘k Galme Gods lof elke dag”.<br>
<br>
It seems odd to me, that a church bell from mid 20th century (it was<br>
replaced after WW2, the Germans stole it in 1943) has an inscription<br>
in anything but Dutch or perhaps Latin. Does this occur elsewhere?<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Henry</p>
