Sail (noun/ verb)

Fishing boat running before the wind (cropped) - Pieter Mulier, ca. 1630 (source)

'Zeil' in Weiland dictionary (1811)

That the Dutch for long have been a seafaring nation, is substantiated by the long list of expressions with the word sail (see Weiland 1811). If the Oera Linda-book had been a 19th century creation, it would have been very tempting, if not hardly avoidable for its author(s) to make ample use of an (assumed) old version of this word. Also, he or they would probably have chosen a variety of segil, segel or seghel, as the form with -g- is considered to be older by conventional etymologists.

However, only twice a variety of sail is to be found in the OLB, and without a -g-; once as verb (VRSÉILDE - Dutch verzeilde) and once in a compound noun (SÍL.MÁKAR - Dutch zeilmakers).

there was prosperity for shipbuilders, smiths, sail makers, rope makers, and for all other craftsmen

Note: In fragment [049/15] HWÉRTHRVCH RÉK ÀND STOM LIK SÉLA BOPPA HUS ÀND POLON STANDON, the underlined word was translated by Ott (and other Dutch translators as 'pillars' ('zuilen', Old Frisian 'sēle'). Ott: causing smoke and steam to stand like pillars over houses and pools. Sandbach had: and the damp mist hung like a wet sail over the houses and the marshes.

In my translation I often used the verb sail (and twice its derivative sailors), mostly for FÁRA (Dutch: varen), since cognate fare is less commonly used in English in this context. Also, in some cases sail as paraphrase for the literal go or come will improve clarity. All of these fragments are listed below.

Some modern cognates (noun/ verb):

sejl/ sejl - Danish
