Re: [lace] Pigeon english
It is a bit more complicated than that: Dutch steek = stitch (in needlework) or stab (of a dagger; stabbing pain) Dutch slag = stroke (of brain, stroke the cat), hit (with a bat), battle (military etc.), movement in lace/knitting e.g. linneslag = WS Dutch beslag = stroke (brain) or batter (for pancakes etc.) English battle = slag (military), struggle, fight South African usage of Dutch words and their meaning can vary from standard Dutch.
