>Had enough of this yet, Heather? ;-)<

Nope!

It is all grist to the mill and v v interesting and helpful .........

But could I beg a full/corrected translation of the following from Piet

In et Stellingwarfs woordeboek staon wel hiel wat naemen van leeg
(grös/huj)laand. Ik hoop daj'd'r wat mit kunnen.
In Stellingwarfs dictionary stand /are ? names/words?
of meadow ( grass / hay) land. I hope you find them useful ( you can do
something with them)

[I'm still trying to pick up all the Lowland languages so forgive the poor
translation)

I am v interested in this idea of meanings shifting over the years and I
do like the idea of wetland with/without a streamlet running through. It
would suit both places v well.

many thanks

Heather

Wie kan my help?

Die volgende woorde is aan mekaar verwant: hout, woud, wood (eng) en die
naam van oppergermaanse god (W)odan. My vraag is wie was eerste? Waar
kom die naam Wodan vandaan?

Groete,

Pieter van Eeden
