Reinhard, baie dankie vir jou inligting! Nou ken ek die Nederlandse variasie
van my bynaam wat ek dertig jaar gelede vir my heldedade op die vroulike
deel van die kampus van die Moscou-Universiteit het gewen:). Ken jy soms die
Afrikaanse woord? Kan dit ,,Spietser’’ ook wees? Ek kon nie dit op die Net
vind nie.

> Ken jy soms die Afrikaanse woord? Kan dit ,,Spietser’’ ook wees?

Ek weet ook nie.  "Spieser"? "Spiesvechter"?  My woordeboeke is in
Kalifornië (en ek is nog in Seattle).  Mark?  Elsie!  Almal?

Dames en Here, ek is skoon skaam om die onderwerp dieper in te gaan, maar
taalkundiges heg ander waarde aan sulke data.

Laat ek net vermeld so 'n bynaam in die kontrei digby Tukkies (Pretoria
Universiteit) is 'spyker', soos bv Spyker Wessels (Names & Places have been
changed to protect the guilty people involved).

Maar laat ek 'n eienaardigheid deel: In die Taal noem ons die manlike orgaan
'n 'piel', afkorting (eina!) vir die Latyns 'pilum'='spies'.

So gerug is dit nie in ABN so nie, maar dit moet seker so wees in ander L-L
Tale. Ons mense is nie uit die sg geletterde deel van Europa se bevolking
afkomstig nie!

Die Uwe,
Mark

PS Ek het ene Flippie Degenaar geken, maar dalk is dit te geletterd.
