Thanks, Henno.

I've added them to the page, minus annotation.  Also, under 081
("smoke") I put _reek_, because we all understood it as a noun.

By the way, in Lowlands Saxon, too, we have the verb (/smöük-/) _smöken_
'to smoke (tobacco)' (cf. archaic German _schmauchen_), and the noun
(/smouk/) _Smook_ 'smoke'.  I have now added the latter to _Rook, Röök_.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
