Is ek nou heeltemaal van die baan af? Van wat ek weet dra (in onse Taal)
'paddastoel' geen verband met die meervoud van 'pad' maar liewers met die
tweeslagtige waterdiertjie van die genus Rana.
 Ons naam vir die oneetbare sampioen is gelyk aan die Engels 'toadstool' in
gebruik, asook aan 'n ouer Engelse naam vir die padda, 'paddock', in klank.
Mens kan daarvan lees in die heksebrou uit Shakespeare se 'Macbeth'.

Die Uwe,
Mark
