Goedenmorgen, Vlad.

Ty nachital:

>I use German-like spelling: matschta, tros, kajuta, kambuzz ("zz" stands here for
>the voiced "s"), nok, gals (OK, "ghals" :) ), sturwal, knop, truem, gorden',
>duejm, wachta, kruejs, kruejt-kamera. :)

Great, these word, aren't they? And what about 'farvater' (< Du. vaarwater) ,
'tryum' (< Du. 't ruim), matros.

Some people say that _yakor'_ (anchor) also derives from Dutch, but that would
not explain the absence of the nasal.

Recently I heard a lecturor say that Eng. 'skipper' is an (old) norse word. I
always thought it to be a Dutch derivative. Is it?

Best regards,

Marcel.

I assume that Russian галстук _galstuk_ 'necktie' comes from Dutch *_halsdoek_
("neck-cloth").
