In Dutch there's "poedelen", meaning "to bathe".

In Dutch there's "kwakkelen", meaning that your health is not 100%,
going up and down a bit.

  Actually, that wasn't the question - I'm interested in whether it is still
  in use today, and in what areas and context. So far, I have only 
encountered
  it in cookbooks (ajuinensaus or ajuinsaus).

  Dag Gabriele,
  My Dutch mum here in Australia calls it Ui, but my dad's Limburgse mates 
refer to it as Ajuin or Un and one fellow refers to it as Sipel (but I am 
not sure if he is Limburgse).
  Hope this helps.
Dear Gabriele,
In Flanders we still use the word "ajuin" in our daily Dutch vocabularium. 
In our own dialect we rather say "anjoen / andjoen". We even have some 
sayings:
-andjoens zaaien =  vloeken (E: to curse)
-gekleêd zijn lik ne rauwn andjoen = veel kleren aanhebben (E: to be dressed 
very warmly)
-andjoens in de maone zaoien = met gedachten bezig zijn die bij de zaak niet 
horen, of, iets willen doen dat onmogelijk is (E: to try to do the 
impossible)


groetjes,
Luc Vanbrabant
