Haai, Kobus/John en almal!

Ek het geskryf:

> '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

of

> afgekom het.

Verkoon my!  "Haardoring" is natuurlik 'n tikfout.  Dit sou "haagdoring"
wees (Engels _howthorn_, Nederlands _haagdoorn_, Nedersaksies _Hagedoorn_ ~
_Haagdoorn_ en Duits _Hagedorn_).

In Afrikaans en Nederlands is die wortelwoord _haag_ (Engels _hedge(row)_),
in Nedersaksies ook _Haag_ [hQ:x] of _Hagen_ ['hQ:gN=] ~ ['hQ:GN=]
(_hedge(row)_, _grove_ of 'hok'/_enclosure for smaller animals_), en in
("Hoog"-)Duits is dit ouderwets _Hag_ (òf _bos_ òf _haag_).

Groete,
Reinhard/Ron
