.. thank you so much. But I hate the //ch//. Just a personal tick.

You might have observed that different sources give different spellings.
In this case it seemed not nessessary to name the village/dialect of the
speaker,the year and author of the wordlist.
What I started to demonstrate by my selection of 'name'-representations:
It seems to me that "name" is a widespread "Wanderwort", for in any
language contact you will ask after for the *name* of your counterpart.
