As most of you must know, English "window" and Scots <em>winda ~ windae ~ winnock</em> originally meant "wind-eye". In Low Saxon (Low German), <em>Windoog </em>[ˈvɪˑntˌʔoːɣ] ("wind-eye") denotes a hole at the top of a gable under the peak of a roof (as in Old Saxon farm houses). I believe that originally it served as a smoke escape.</font></div>
