Onderwerp: LL-L "Lexicon"

U skryf:

"This listing made me think of the Afrikaans equivalents of some of the
names for an accordian  Handharmonika is found meaning Accordeon in an
Afrikaans dictionary although I have not heard this used. More familiar are
Akkordeon, Trekklavier (Piano accordian). Interestingly the word Trekkas
which I thought may be carried over from Treckkasten is used for a Drag-box
which is equipment used in civil engineering..."

Swaer, ek kan dit kwalik glo dat u nie melding maak van die benoeming
'Pensorrel' nie! Trekklavier? Gmf!

Darem 'n lekker onderwerp nê!

Guys, our John neglected, perhaps because its intimate familiarity to us, of
the term 'pensorrel' = (tummy organ) for the accordion. I for my part cannot
conceive of using any other term for the same. My father used to play it in
the boerorkes, alternating with the saw.
