A _teêle_ (singular, plural: _teêlen_ or _teêln_) is the same as the
Dutch
word _teil_ ('tub' or 'bowl'; _Kübel_ or _Wanne_ in German), not _tegel_
('tile'; the Zeelandic word for 'tile' is _tehel_ or _teël_). So a
_teêltuun_ is a rack where things like pails are hung on upside down to
dry and is used outside the house, not inside.
Oh, and _eê_ in Zeelandic is the same as _ea_ in Frisian.

Regards,

Marco
