Subject: LL-L "Etymology"

Dear Lowlanders,

in another mail of today I used the word E:_harness_, LS: 'anschirr'n,
inspannen, anspannen', G:(same)'anschirren, anspannen, einspannen'. I never
before had heard this word.

I am curious about the etymological background- in G:'Harnisch' means E:
'armor', 'cuirass'.
I suspect it within relationship to E:'horse', Old Saxon/Old High German
'hros', which is tradited in our G: 'Ross'.
'Harnisch' I guess to have been the armor of a E:'knight' but 'rider' in a
more common sense, G:'Ritter' - could there be the junction.?

Regards

Johannes "Jonny" Meibohm
