Groete aan alle Laelanders,

In die afgelope week het ek die voorreg gehad om met 'n
aantal van my Nederlandse Kollega's vanaf ons
Korrespondente Banke te vergader.

Toe ons aan mekaar voorgestel is, moes van die Suid
Afrikaners 'n "Double take " doen weëns die feit dat daar
paar vanne was wat vir ons as redelik grof voorgekom het.

Fokker ( wat in Suid-Afrika allen deur 'n onderoffisier
teenoor 'n slapgeslaande soldaat gebruik so word) is
natuurlik orals bekend maar ons het ander ook teëgekom
(onder andere Hoenderdoos).
Is daar 'n rede waarom sulke uitsonderlike name aangeneem
sou word.

Haai, Kobus/John!

En "welcome back!"

'n Eienaardige familienaam is dikwels die gevolg van geleidike
klankveranderinge of klankverdraaiinge, soos my Saksiese "van": Hahn, in
Nederland "(de) Haan" geskryf, wat nou in Duitsland en Nederland as
"hoenderhaan" verstaan word maar werklik van "Hagen" (= de boer, wat in of
by 'n "haag" [= 'n klein bossie, soos in Afrikaans "haardoring"] woon)
afgekom het.

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
