Beste Ron,

“Böse Mieze?” ;-) ?!

To your “odd” North-German  words:

Don’t know them.

> (2)
> German: Feuel ~ Feudel
> Low Saxon: voyel ~ voydel ~ vaydel (Feuel ~ Feudel ~ Feidel)
> Standard German: Wischtuch, Aufwischer, Wischlappen
P. Kaempfert says it derives from MLG: feile, D: feil, Old French: veile or 
faille

> (3)
> German: Leuwagen
> Low Saxon: loywaag' (Leuwaag)
> Standard German: Schrubber mit Wischlappen
also: Mop(p) (double-p in the new writing system- what ridiculous!)
It *could* describe its feature like a lion’s mane- I heard about this 
explanation.

Greutens/Regards
