 En ook dit nog beste laaglanders,

Volksetymologisch komt Sprokkel met metathesis uit sporkel, met de gedachte
aan het sprokkelen van hout.
Etymologisch dit:
Uit het Latijn "spurcus" = smerig, vuil.
Sprokkel ui SPURCALIA , een heidens feest van lichaamsreiniging, waar de
katholieke kerk erg tegen was.

Prettige feestdagen en toetnoasteki,
