Holger, Ron,

> Hello Ron, Elsie and others !

felt

tend

to

place

speakers.

> By the way, I think _Appelkoos'_ is used outside Eastern Friesland as
well.

contaminated

Mi dücht:

datt hett mit 'n (LS) "Appel", (UG) "Apfel", (E) "apple" viellich' amend nix
tau dauhn, dat kommt von 'nt "Afri-" kaansche aff (viellich' oobers de
"Appel" ook!) ! Und "-sinus" or "ko-sinus" (UG)"krumm, gekrümmt, kurvig"
finn't wi ook in (UG)"Apfelsine".

Greutens

Fiete.

Fiete,

Hest sachs nich mitkrägen, wat ik later (04.FEB.2003 (05)) noch
daartobottert harr:

> Apparently, "apricot" is one of those words that has several stamps in its
> passport.
>
> Yes, in the Germanic languages it seems to have arrived from Portuguese
> (though some say it came from Spanish), the Portuguese word being
> _albricoque_ (cf., Spanish _albaricoque_, _albérchigo_, Catalan
_albercoc_,
> French _abricot_; Port. & Span. also _damasco_ < Damascus) . Like so
> many words that start with _al..._ in the languages of the Iberian
Peninsula,
> this is an Arabic loan: البرفوف _albirqûq_ ~ _alburqûq_ (where _al-_
denotes
> the definite article; Mod. Arab. مشمش _mishmish_ 'apricot').
>
> However, Arabic received the word from Greek or Latin: Greek _praikókion_
> _prekókia_ > _berikókkia_ > Modern βερύκκοκο _beríkokko_, and Greek got it
> from Latin _praecoqquus_ "the early ripening one".

Grötens,
Reinhard/Ron
