Hi Elsie, wat een énige tocht door het varken z’n afval  (om Afrikaanse
grammatica te lenen)  na te speuren. Mag ik je het Engelse woord “drab” er
bij cadeau doen? Qua kleur komt het wel uit.

Hartelijke Groeten, Jacqueline

*Beste Elsie,*

*Yiddisj treyf of trayf (**טרײף**), van ouer treyfe of trayfe (**טרפֿה**), is
afkomstig van Hebreeus trēfáh (**טְרֵפָה**‎**). Die betekenis van hierdie
Semities woord is "geskeur", in hierdie konteks eintlik "deur wildediere
geskeur", dus nie geslag in die ritueel joods manier nie. 'n Dier wat in die
wild het gestorw is volgens die wet van kasjroet nie kosjer nie, mag **dus *
*nie verteer word nie. Dit woord word later veralgemeen vir enigiets dat nie
kosjer is nie.*
*
Engels "tripe" is afkomstig van Ou-Fraans tripe '''n dier s'n ingewande".

Engels "dregs" is moontlik afkomstig van Ou-Skandinawies; vergelyk Yslands
dreggjar en Sweeds drägg 'besinksel', 'wynmoer', 'sedimente van alkoholies
drank'.

Groete,*
Reinhard "Ron" F. Hahn,
Seattle, USA
