Dallman Ross:
Ruud H.G. van Tol:
Phonetically: <crimma-nale>.
Well, that sounds related to "criminal."
Yes, it is the same word.
Maybe <crimmuh-nail> is a better transcription.
Or <crimmih-nail>.
A criminal : een crimineel (of: een misdadiger, een boef).
That is criminal: dat is crimineel (of: dat is misdadig).
I thought the whole while it was yet another euphemism for Jesus
Christ, a la "Jiminy Cricket!" (Thanks, Walt Disney.)
It is too. Maybe the Dutch variant replaces "Christ-My-Soul"
(Kristemeziele).
