Found this today at the Acco bookshop in Leuven:



Leo Van Huyck, "*Verholen verwanten*", Verwantschap tussen woorden in het
Nederlands en het Engels, 2010, Acco, Leuven, ISBN 978-90-334-8042-3, 137
pp., 22.50 euro (19:15 euro for members of Acco)



Acco is a kind of university COOP.



A sample excerpt:



*churl(ish) (lomp, ongemanierd) - kerel.* Terwijl we 'churl' (lummel) als
substantief in het modern Engels niet veel meer tegenkomen, treffen, we het
nog vaak aan als adjectief 'churlish' (onvriendelijk, ongemanierd,
slechtgezind). het verband tussen de twee wordt nogmaals duidelijk na de
omzetting van CH naar K, wat 'kurl' en 'kerel' dichter bij elkaar brengt.



Regards,

Roger



Funny, I know the (now extinct, I think) West Frisian "tsjirl" (now we use
"keardel", and variants) with that same meaning (it still occurred in 19th
century Frisian, with other now extinct forms like "tsjeaf" (now dief) =
thief, "tsjutlik" (now dúdlik) = clear, tsjútsk (now dútsk) = German, etc.)
We still have forms like tsjerne (churn, cf. Dutch karn) ,tsjef (chaff, cf.
Dutch kaf) etc, that show the same Ingvaeonic palatalisation.



regards,



Henno
