BTW the Frisian form I find is Saterdei, although it is rarely used, the more common name (in Dutch Frisia at least) is Sneon, for which I do not know the derivation. (Sunday is Snein, the other names are more or less similar to English and Dutch.) -- dik t. winter, cwi, kruislaan 413, 1098 sj amsterdam, nederland home: bovenover 215, 1025 jn amsterdam, nederland; e-mail: dik@cwi.nl
