Interesting, what is the etymology of that 'ucht(e)' ?
In North and Middle Markian it seems to have been known once, too, but early
forgotten.
It is preserved only in the family's name 'Uchtenhagen', that is explained by
folk-etymology
as 'ut de hagen'.

John,

Indeed "frein" still has the meaning of blood relation in Ulster, where the
terms "billie" and "feir" ("fiere") are available for friend, the latter
perhaps being closer.
