Subject: "Etymology"

Dag Lowlanders,
I have been using a fantastic online childrens dictionary called LOGOS
which I found from one of the links in the Lowlands
web pages. I am unable to find anything in Limburgs/English to help
myself learn to read and write in Limburgs except for
this LOGOS site. If anyone knows of any books or online sites that would
be useful please let me know. I am very curious
about the word Fenster (German), Venster (Afrikaans), Venster (Flaams),
Finster (Frisian).Why is the Dutch word for window
Raam when most of the geographical reach of the other languages are so
similar?

Tot Ziens
Peter Snepvangers
