[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2201029, member: 372207"] Dienstbode: Not an occupation that still goes by that name. It's like the maid, including opening the door and passing along messages, like a butler. Often work for young females before they were married, but it was not solely a profession for women. In male diensbodes work may have included caring for the horses as well. Tapper or kastelein: My best friend, the one who pours (tapt) the beer in the pub :) Veer, pont or veerpont: Ferry. But veer also means feather, nothing to do with ferry though. Voetveer: Literally foot ferry. A ferry for pedestrians only, often also for bikes. On the North side of Amsterdam Central Station there are 5 different 'voetveren' going back and forth to the north part of the city, during rush hour every 6 minutes with a maximum of around 300 passengers. But in more rural area's a voetveer can be a small boat for up to 4 people, manned by a veerman living at the one shore with a bronze bell on the opposite shore to alert him or her. Veerman. That must be clear by now. The most famous Veerman of course is Sharon.

Could be interesting to see if there's still a veer at that place :) [/QUOTE]
