I wouls like to add "moeteke" in my West-Limburgish refers to a calf (of a
cow), from recently born up to a few weeks old.

moeteke:        up to a few weeks
kalf:               a few weeks up to a year
josling:           a year up to two years
vjaas:             about two years

"Moeteke" was at least common in West-Limburgish (Lonerlands; Vliermaal as
well as in Tongerlands, Tongeren, Hoeselt)

Regards,

Roger
