Subj: [DR-L] German for Bagpipes
Date: Mon, 17 May 2004 17:07:21 -0400

The German word for bagpipes is: Dudelsack... DER Dudelsack. Whereas the
English usage places emphasis on the pluralized 'pipes', the German
emphasis is on the bag (Sack).... go figure :-D Usually it is the
listener who is neutralized rather than the pipes :-)
