_Cavell, meaning of_ (Vol. i., p. 473.).--I concur entirely with the
etymology of the word _cavell_ given at p. 473. A lake having been
drained in my country, the land is still divided into _Kavelingen_; as
lots of land were formerly measured by strings of cord, _kavel_,
_kabel_, _cable_. Vide Tuinman _Trakkel_, d. n. t. p. 165. _Kavelloten_
is to receive a cavell by _lot._ cf. _Idem, Verrolg_, p. 97.
