Old West Frisian thēia*, Saterlandic
taie and Modern West Frisian triuwe
‘to push’
In this contribution I present the Frisian cognates of
ModDu. duwen ‘to push’ etc. Although cognate forms of this
verb are found in the older and, partly, the younger stages of all West
Germanic languages, it has not, as yet, been found in Old Frisian and its
modern dialects. The aim of this study is, first of all, to fill this
unexpected gap and, more generally, to take a closer look at the word field
of ‘to push, to press’ in Frisian.
