Beste Darrin, Elsie, Jonnie, Rudi:

Subject: LL-L "Etymology"

Aag, verskoon my julle, dat ek tegnies raak. Aldus die ou mense is Ron dalk
nader aan korrek.

Maar eers: Die draaghout, waaraan die perde gespan is, is met skakels aan
die disselboom gekoppel. Met 'n lekker pas sal die kar saam met die perde
rol, en dienooreenkomstig ritmies los en styf, los en styf, teen die
draaghout slaan. Die disselboom, veral die klopdisselboom, is natuurlik vas
aan die wielstel, en kan natuurlik nie ritmies teen die kar, of enige
onderdeel daarvan, klop nie.

My pa, in gesprek hieroor, lag en sê, 'Met die "klopdisselboom" is twee
perde saam ingespan, soos man en vrou in die huwelik. Dan gaan alles wel
klopdisselboom!' Hy is die laaste twee jaar wewenaar, en vind enkeltrek
darem hardepad.

In ons kontrei word die uitdrukking 'klop-' hier en daar vir 'n enkele ding
aangewend, bv 'klopstut', 'n enkelstaande wandjie pleks van traliedrade, om
'n tamatielotjie te stut.

Groete,
Mark
