Ken
Hi BMK. You probably already know this, but just for the chance you don't: in Dutch "kennen" means "to know". Best regards,  Joshua Jonathan   -  Let's talk!   07:07, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I didn't now that. I'm sure it is in some way related to the Scottish "ken", perhaps as a loan word. Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:10, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
 * It's the same in German. Dutch is just low low German, English is just low low Dutch with a veneer of Norman French, and Scots is just old English as spoken by Northern barbarians. In other words, "ken", "know", "kennen" go all back to a PIE root word, and seemed to have evolved with the different languages, not evolved in only one and then moved from one branch to another other. See  if you are as anal as I am ;-). --Stephan Schulz (talk) 13:09, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
