Alsjeblieft!
Wij hebben misschien een oorsprong voor "greena Donadach" gevonden.
Dit zull zijn dat "greene" of "Gruendonnerstag" op hoogduitse tal een
evolutie van "greenen" of "greinen" ---Weinen, cry, --- ist gewest, zo
een dag voor boetjes.
Een tweede mogelijkheid is "Groentje Donderdag", or "Vegetable
Thursday", een dag zonder vlees, wanneer een enkelt maaltijd van
groentjes was te eten. "Maundy Thursday" kwam uit latijnse "Dies
Mandatum".

Sorry for the fractured Nederlands. I appreciate the knowledge all of
you are contributing to the lowlands germanic dialogues, as you unfold,
piece by piece, a richness of shared histories and cultures that truly
warms the heart.
