Does someone know the Nord Frisian (or Saterland Frisian) words for Badger?
I'm curious whether my theory that North Low Saxon "Tacks" instead of
expected "*Das(se)" is a Frisian loan is supported by Modern Frisian data.
West Frisian "das" is obviously a loan from Dutch or maybe even from Low
Saxon in the Netherland.

Saterland Frisian Wikipedia has an article about it
<http://stq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taks>
<http://stq.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taks>and North Frisian Wikipedia
mentions the badger as "dåks" in the article
<http://frr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore> <http://frr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moore>.
