godmother (aunt) Explanation: A "Get" (similar regional variants: Gedl, Gedel, Getel, God, Goht, etc.), pronounced with long "e" btw., is one's aunt and godmother. "God" for example was used in my own family. I don't think that "Weß" is used synonymously here, I need to some research. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 26 mins (2014-04-22 22:04:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- "need to DO some research", oops. |
