Hello Roger,

There are a large number of false friends in English and Dutch, but there is
none for shoehorn. By the way, you forgot to mention the Dutch word
'schoentrekker', which is also the standard word in my Brabant dialect.

Regards,

Roger Hondshoven

In German, both _Schuhlöffel_ ("shoe spoon") and _Schuhanzieher_ ("shoe 
on-puller = dresser") are used.  I believe in Low Saxon you can say either 
_schoulepel_ (<Schohlepel>) or _schouantrekker_ (<Schohantrecker>).  Can 
anyone confirm or disprove this?  I say _Schuhanzieher_ and 
_schouantrekker_.

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
