Quote:
Interesting, considering that the name of the game is _daam_, _dam_,
_daamspeel_ or _damspeel_ in Lowlands Saxon (Low German), _dammen_ or
_damspel_ in Dutch and _Dame_ or _Damespiel_ in German.

Het verschil is, dat voor 'drafts' ze het schaakbord gebruiken (4 bruine
en 4 witte vierkanten per zijde), en voor dammen in Nederland 5
bruin en 5 wit.  Mijn schaakbord heeft daarom een apart dambord op de
keerzijde.
Groeten, Jannie

Thanks, Mathieu!

Lowlands Saxon (Low German, Northern Saxon):

to play cards......kaarten spelen (Kaarten spelen)
to shuffle.........dör(ch)schechen ['dœ.3`(C)SEC=N]*
to cheat...........schummeln ['SU.m=ln]
                   mogeln ['mo:g=ln] ~ ['mo:G=ln]
                   küütbüten ['k_hy:tby:t=n]
                   küütjebüten ['k_hy:tje,by:t=n]

* This is a "split verb" using _dör(ch)_ 'through'; e.g., _Hey schecht
dey kaarten dör(ch)_ 'He shuffles/is shuffling/will shuffle the cards'.

Regards,
Reinhard/Ron
