Hi Alan

“Vrijen” (probably from priapus, god of love) actually means
“cuddling” in Dutch, blissful mutual bodily entanglement :-)))).
But we have “wrang” which is the distorted face you pull when you
taste something bitter, or how you feel when someone has left you
with uneasy feelings, same as in Norwegian.

Neat stuff this, but it may not be everybody’s cup of tea… However,
language and especially etymology tells us so much about how we still
are…

Nice

In Norwegian "Vrang" means either something turned inside out or about a difficult person.
The way it is used is : 'he turned himself wrong', telling why it did not work out.


Is it the verb 'vrijen' in dutch?
