Subject: </font>LL-L "Etymology"<br><br><div>Dear LL-friends,<br>Yesterday in our newspaper (Leeuwarder Courant) there
was an article about a old fashion church service: <em>"De vrouwen zaten apart
en hadden hoedjes op. Sommige mannen hadden een hoge hoed op. De meeste
kinderen, ook helemaal in stijl met petten en strikken in het haar, zaten op de
kraak."</em> (Woman where sitting apart, some man where wearing a top-hat en the
childeren where sitting on de 'kraak'.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>That word 'kraak' intrigues me. It is a high-level half-open floor,
somewhere between the ground-floor and the roof in a church. It is mostly also
the place where the organ is been played.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>In our Stellingwarf (LS) region we know a word 'hilde' meant for a
half-open 'tussenverdieping' (Eng: mezzanine(?)) but this is not used for a
'kraak' in a church.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm wondering (a) where that word 'kraak' etymological comes from and (b)
if there is a equivalent word for the Dutch 'kraak' in LS? In our Stellingwerfs
we call it the 'kraeke'.<br>Mit een vrundelike groet uut
Stellingwarf,<br>Piet Bult</div></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"> <font size="2"><span style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0)"></span></font><br></p><div style="text-align:center"><font size="2">==============================</font><font size="2">===========================<br>
