Changes to This Edition
General
Revised end-of-chapter short exercises, exercises, problems, continuing problems, comprehensive problems, and critical
thinking cases.
NEW! Using Excel. This end-of-chapter problem introduces students to Excel to solve common accounting problems as they would
in the business environment.
NEW! Tying It All Together feature ties together key concepts from the chapter using the company highlighted in the chapter opener.
The in-chapter box feature presents scenarios and questions that the company could face and focuses on the decision-making
process. The end-of-chapter business case helps students synthesize the concepts of the chapter and reinforce critical thinking.
NEW! A Continuing Problem starts in Chapter 1 and runs through the financial chapters, exposing students to recording entries for
a service company and then moving into recording transactions for a merchandiser later in the text. The managerial chapters’
continuing problem has been revised for this edition and emphasizes the relevant topics for that chapter using a continuous
company.

Chapter 1
NEW! Added discussion about why accounting is important to non-accounting majors.

Chapter 3

Expanding on Proven Success
Accounting Cycle Tutorial
MyAccountingLab’s interactive tutorial helps students
­master the ­Accounting Cycle for early and continued
success in the Introduction to Accounting course. The
tutorial, accessed by computer, smartphone, or tablet,
­provides students with brief explanations of each con-
cept of the Accounting Cycle through engaging, inter-
active ­activities. Students are immediately a­ ssessed on
their understanding and their performance is recorded
in the MyAccountingLab Gradebook. Whether the
­Accounting Cycle Tutorial is used as a remediation
self-study tool or course assignment, students have
yet another r­ esource within MyAccountingLab to help
them be successful with the accounting cycle.

NEW!
ACT Comprehensive Problem
The A­ ccounting Cycle Tutorial now includes a comprehensive p ­ roblem that a­ llows students to work with the same
set of transactions throughout the accounting cycle. The comprehensive problem, which can be assigned at the beginning or
the end of the full cycle, reinforces the lessons learned in the a­ ccounting cycle tutorial activities by emphasizing the connec-
tions between the accounting cycle concepts.

Study Plan
The Study Plan acts as a tutor, providing personalized recommendations for each of your students based on his or her abil-
ity to master the learning objectives in your course. This allows students to focus their study time by pinpointing the precise
areas they need to review, and allowing them to use customized practice and learning aids–such as videos, eText, tutorials, and
more–to get them back on track. Using the report available in the Gradebook, you can then tailor course lectures to prioritize
the content where students need the most support–­offering you better insight into classroom and individual performance.

Dynamic Study Modules


Help students study effectively on their
own by continuously assessing their activity
and performance in real time. Here’s how
it works: students complete a set of ques-
tions with a unique answer format that also
asks them to indicate their confidence level.
Questions repeat until the student can an-
swer them all correctly and confidently.
Once completed, Dynamic Study Modules
explain the concept using materials from
the text. These are available as graded as-
signments prior to class, and accessible on
smartphones, tablets, and computers. NEW!
Instructors can now remove questions from
Dynamic Study Modules to better fit their
course. Available for select titles.

Dear Colleague,

Thank you for taking the time to review Horngren’s Financial and Managerial Accounting. We are
excited to share our innovations with you as we expand on the proven success of our revision to
the Horngren franchise. Using what we learned from focus groups, market feedback, and our col-
leagues, we’ve designed this edition to focus on several goals.
First, we again made certain that the textbook, student resources, and instructor supplements
are clear, consistent, and accurate. As authors, we reviewed each and every component to ensure a
student experience free of hurdles. Next, through our ongoing conversations with our colleagues
and our time engaged at professional conferences, we confirmed that our pedagogy and content
represents the leading methods used in teaching our students these critical foundational topics.
Lastly, we concentrated on student success and providing resources for professors to create an
active and engaging classroom.
We are excited to share with you some new features and changes in this latest edition. First,
we have added a new Tying It All Together feature that highlights an actual company and addresses
how the concepts of the chapter apply to the business environment. A Using Excel problem has
also been added to every chapter to introduce students to using Excel to solve common accounting
problems as they would in the business environment. Chapter 5 (Merchandising Operations) has
been updated for the newly released revenue recognition standard. The managerial chapters went
through a significant review with a focus of clarifying current coverage and expanding on content
areas that needed more explanation.
We trust you will find evidence of these goals throughout our text, MyAccountingLab, en-
hanced eText, and in our many new media enhanced resources such as the Accounting Cycle
Tutorial with a new comprehensive problem and animated lectures. We welcome your feedback
and comments. Please do not hesitate to contact us at HorngrensAccounting@pearson.com or
through our editor, Lacey Vitetta, LaceyVitetta@pearson.com.

inzicht in de beschavingsgeschiedenis van ons volk.

De spotnamen zijn over al de Nederlanden, Noord en Zuid,


verspreid; in al de Nederlandsche gewesten zijn ze in gebruik. In ’t
eene gewest echter meer dan in het andere. In de Friesche en in de
Vlaamsche gewesten zijn ze het talrijkst. Ook in de oorspronkelijk
Dietsche gewesten van Frankrijk (Fransch-Vlaanderen en Artesië)
komen er voor, en niet minder in de Friesche gouwen van Noord-
Duitschland (Oost-, Wezer- en Noord-Friesland). 1

Als Fries zijn mij de Friesche spotnamen het beste en het volledigste
bekend. Dus komt in deze verhandeling aan de Friesche spotnamen
het leeuwendeel toe, en worden ze in de eerste plaats uitvoerig
besproken en verklaard. Vervolgens worden de spotnamen van de
overige Nederlandsche gewesten, voor zooverre ze mij bekend zijn,
hier allen vermeld. Bij sommigen van die namen heb ik eene kleine
aanteekening gevoegd, zonder echter den oorsprong en de
beteekenis van al die namen in het algemeen [8]na te speuren en
aan te geven. De Oud-Vlaamsche spotnamen die ons overgeleverd
zijn in het allermerkwaardigste gedicht Den langen Adieu, van den
Bruggeling Eduwaert den Dene, worden ten slotte, nog
bijzonderlijk vermeld, en, ten deele althans, in hunnen oorsprong en
in hunne beteekenis nader besproken. Zoo is de indeeling van deze
verhandeling.

De Friesche spotnamen zijn in de Friesche taal gesteld—dat spreekt


geheel van zelven. Daar is nog geen man van Arum ooit voor
„kruiper in het stof van den weg” gescholden; geen man uit Sneek
voor „duimpjevreter”, geen man uit Warns voor „schapenkeutel”.
Maar „M o u d e k r û p e r s ”, zóó heeten de Arummers;
„D ú m k e f r e t t e r s ” de Sneekers; „S k i e p e l o a r t e n ” de
Warnsers. De Friesche spotnamen zijn hier en vervolgens dan ook in
het Friesch vermeld, en daarbij, voor zooverre noodig, verdietscht, of
anderszins in het Nederlandsch verklaard.

In mindere mate is het gelijke ook met andere namen het geval, die
steeds in gouwspraak genoemd worden. Welke Hollander en welke
Vlaming, of welke andere Nederlander, die de gouwspraak van
Twente niet kent, zal den spot naam van de Oldenzalers,
„G r u p p e n d r i e t e r s ”, verstaan? Die Friesche namen, of die
welke in de eene of andere gouwspraak genoemd worden, verliezen
in oorspronkelijkheid, in eigenaardigheid, in kracht, als ze vertaald
worden of in algemeen Nederlandsch overgezet. M o u d e k r û p e r ,
G r u p p e n d r i e t e r , dat is kernachtig, kort en krachtig, volkseigen-
schoon gezegd. Hoe lamlendig en laf staat daar tegenover „Kruiper
in het stof van den weg”, en: „Iemand, die zijne lichamelijke
ontlasting verricht in eene greppel”—’k weet waarlijk niet hoe men dit
best in zoogenoemd beschaafd Nederlandsch zal zeggen of
schrijven.

Leeuwarden is de hoofdstad van Friesland. Met Leeuwarden willen


we beginnen.

De Leeuwarders dragen den spotnaam van „G a l g e l a p p e r s ”. Zij


zijn eigenlijk wel twee spotnamen rijk. Immers heeten ze ook wel
S p e k n e k k e n . Speknek is een bijnaam voor een welgesteld,
lichamelijk ook zeer welvarend man, wiens glad-geschoren [9]nek,
zoo als bij zulke lieden wel ’t geval pleegt te zijn, als ’t ware glimt van
vet (spek), en met plooien van eene dikke, onderhuidsche vetlaag is
voorzien. Maar deze spotnaam voor eenen ouderwetschen, dikken,
kwabbigen burgerman, zoo als ik die in den goeden ouden tijd, in
mijne jeugd te Leeuwarden nog velen heb gekend (een geschoren
nek, en krullokken vóór de ooren, was „mode” in de eerste helft
dezer eeuw)—de spotnaam S p e k n e k is verdrongen door dien van
Galgelapper.

Hoe nu de Leeuwarders aan den spotnaam G a l g e l a p p e r s


gekomen zijn, wil ik hier eens uitvoerig mededeelen, en wel, voor de
verandering, geschreven in de dagelijksche spreektaal der
ouderwetsche Leeuwarder burgerij; geheel zóó als een Leeuwarder
burgerman van den ouden stempel, dat verhaal den zijnen zoude
doen. Dit dient dan met één als een staaltje van de spreektaal der
Leeuwarders, van het verkeerdelijk zoogenoemde Stad-Friesch (het
Stêdsk der Friesch sprekende Friezen), ’t welk anders niet is als
goed Oud-Dietsch, rijk vermengd met Friesche woorden en
woordvormen en zinwendingen, en dan uitgesproken door eenen
Frieschen mond, die geen letter n op ’t einde der woorden
verwaarloost, maar dit wel doet met de r in ’t midden der woorden;
ook met sk, s en f en zachte g in plaats van de Hollandsche sch, z
en v en rochelende g, die geen Fries uitspreken kan (de s of z, de f
of v dan in ’t begin der woorden), tenzij dan kunstmatig, met veel
moeite, en met veel keelgeschrap wat de sch en g betreft.

Luuster nou ’ris! Dan sa’ ’k jimme ’ris fertelle, hoe-’t de Leewarders
an har bijnaam fan Galgelappers komen binne.

Oudtiids hadden alle steden in Friesland, in de groote dorpen oek,


daar ’t rechthuus fan ’e grietenij staat, in oek wel sommige staten
(dat binne fan die groote, oud-adellike boereplaatsen), it recht fan
galg in rad, liik as dat doe soo hiette. Dat is te seggen: in die
plaatsen mochten in musten de boosdoenders, de moordenaars, de
branstichters in suk gespuus, foor soo feer as se daar, of in ’e
onderhoorichheit fan die plaatsen har misdaden uutricht hadden, oek
ophongen wudde an ’e galge.
Later, doe-’t Leewarden, in ’e plaats fan Staveren, de hoofdstad
[10]fan Friesland wudden waar, in doe de regeering over Friesland
hoe langer hoe meer in ien han komen waar, in te Leewarden har
setel hadde, doe houdde dat op. Doe musten alle boosdoenders,
die-’t in Friesland oppakt waren, in tot ’e dood feroordeeld, die
musten te Leewarden an ’e galge ophongen wudde. It lansbestuur
liet in alle steden in andere plaatsen, die-’t it recht fan galg in rad
hadden, wete—om so mar ’ris te seggen, met dizze woorden: „Hur
ris, jimme Franekers in Harlingers, jimme Dokkumers, Sneekers in
Bolseters, in die ’t it meer angaat, jimme hewwe ont nou toe jimme
eigen moordenaars sels ophongen, mar dat houdt nou op; dat mut
deen weze. As jimme en moordenaar of en andere kwaaddoender
snapt hewwe, in feroordeeld om te hangen, dan mutte jimme die
man na Leewarden sture, om daar dan ophongen te wudden. Set de
man dan mar, goed in ’e boeiens slagen, met een paar dienders of
feldwachters of wat jimme hewwe (as it mar goed fortroude mannen
binne), in ’t trekskip na Leewarden, met en briefke der bij, hoe in wat.
Dan salle se te Leewarden dat saakje wel feerder opknappe, in de
man an ’e galge ophange.”

Nou! dat ston alle minsen lang niet an, in die kleine plaatsen. Want
jimme mutte begripe, d’r gebeurt daar niet veul nijs, soo deur ’n
bank; in dan gaf soo’n ophangerij altiid nog ’ris en aardig fersetsje, in
’n mooi fleurig kiikje. Mar wat suden se d’ran doen? Se musten wel
doen soo-’t de regeering it hewwe wude, hee? Mar de Leewarders!
nou, die hadden en boel wille deur die nijigheit; in en hopen foordeel
oek.

De merkedag wudde doe te Leewarden houden op Saterdag, in niet


op Frijdag, soo as nou teugenwoordig. In fan sels, op merkedag
wudde der ophongen, in branmerkt, in giisseld, in te pronk set. Want
sien! merkedag dan waar der altiid en hopen boerefolk in ’e stad, die
daar dan doch weze musten foor har saken, in om te koopen in te
ferkoopen. Mar dan kwammen d’r altiid oek en boel uut nijsgierigheit
om ’t ophangen te sien. In soo had de Leewarder galge it mar drok;
hast alle Saterdags waar d’r ’t ien of ander op ’t skawot te redden. In
daar hadden de Leewarders dan niet allienig de nocht [11]in de wille
fan, mar oek groot foordeel. Fooral de kas’leins in de koekebakkers.
Want en koem koffi met en stuk koek, in en burreltsje—dat waar al ’t
minste dat de lui bruukten. De meesten nammen feul meer achter ’t
fesje. In daar kwam dan nog bij alderlei koopmanskap fan alderlei
guud dat ’t boerefolk noodig had, oek fan goud in sulver in mooie
kleeren foor de froului—dus de Leewarder merkedag wudde mar
deeg fleurig fan dat alles.

Dat gong soo jaren heene, in de Leewarder galge had mar en boel
te doen. In fan sels—soodoende sleet-i oek deeg. Langsamerhand
begon-i al mooi oud te wudden, in te ferfallen. D’r muste noodig in
nije galge komme, soo noodig as eten in ’e mon.

Ja, mar wie must die nije galge betale? Daar kwam it mar op an. De
Leewarders seiden: Alles goed in wel! ’t is ons galge, in as d’r
allienig mar Leewarders an ophongen wudden, dan musten wij him
oek allienig onderhoude; of fernije, as ’t noodig waar. Mar nou al die
kleinsteedsers d’r an ophongen wudde, in al dat butenfolk, nou mutte
die minsen d’r oek mar an betale. It sude wat moois weze! Wij de
galge onderhoude, of en nije galge geve; in die Franeker
klokkedieven in Harlinger tobbedansers, die Dokkumer garnaten,
Sneeker duumkefreters in Bolseter olikoeken, in al die butenminsen,
die suden d’r mar frij anhange!—alles in recht in billikheid! Mar soo
niet!

Hou wat! seiden doe de kleinsteedsers in it boerefolk, hou wat!


Jimme Leewarder Speknekken! jimme hewwe alle wille in oek alle
foordeel fan ’e ophangerij, mar wij krije d’r in ons eigen plaatsen niks
meer fan te sien. ’T is billik in recht dat jimme nou oek de galge
onderhoude, of anders en nije galge make late!

Dat gaf nou fan sels ’n hopen roezje onder ’e lui, in ’n hopen geskriif
in gewriif onder ’e heeren. Want sien, ieder bleef fan sels stiif op siin
stuk staan—dat is ’t oude Friesse gebruuk soo, in daar mut me ien
dan oek an houde—is ’t nou waar of niet?

Nou, de galge waar oek nog niet soo, al sag-i d’r frij wat skunnig uut,
of-i kon nog wel wat dienst doen. In soo bleef dan die saak fan ’n nije
galge fooreerst mar sloeren.

Doe waar daar in die tiid ’n kleermaker te Dokkum, in die [12]man had
’n boos wiif. Benaud boos, kan ’k jimme segge. In op ’n goeie
morgen sloeg die man siin frou dood, met ’t striikiisder in de
parsplanke. ’T waar anders mar en klein, springerig in spichtig
kereltsje, soo as de sniders feulal binne; mar sien, die booze flarde
had de man breinroer maakt. Goed! Hij wudde oppakt, in fonnisd, in
na Leewarden brocht, in ’t trekskip, om daar ophongen te wudden.
De Frijdagsmiddags kwam-i te Leewarden an, in de
Saterdagsmiddags om twaalf uur suud-i ophongen wudde. Eerst
kreeg-i nog siin galgemaal. Want de lui die-’t oudtiids ophongen
wudden, mochten die daags foor ’t laast nog ’ris uutkieze, wat se ete
wuden. In wat se dan begeerden—as ’t niet al te mal waar, dat
kregen se dan oek. Nou—dizze man dan, die koos eindfeugel met
appelsmots; want it waar in ’t najaar. In daar ’n fles wiin bij; want wiin
had de man eigentlik nooit niet goed proefd. In doe-’t-’i dat lekker
oppeuzeld hadde, doe kwam d’r nog ’n domenij ’n half uurke bij him
—och ja, mins!—In daarna brochten se him op ’t skawot.

Doe die man daar soo ston onder ’e galge, in de beulsknecht sette
de ledder al klaar, in de burgemeester met de froedsmannen
stonnen om him heene, doe keek die man ’ris na boven, na de galge
daar-’t-i an hange muste. In doe skudd’-’i ’t hoofd, in doe wudd’-’i
moeielik. Sij froegen him wat of-’t-’i hadde. Och! seid’-i, Heeren fan
’e stad fan Luwarden! 2 dat ik hier ophongen wudde sil, dat is tot
daair an toe. Daair sil ik niks fan segge. Dat hew ik ferdiend; in die
wat ferdient, die mut wat hewwe, segge se bij ons in Dokkum. Dat is
niet anders. Mar—(in doe sag die man al weêr na boven, na de
galge) mar dat ik nou an soo’n skunnige, an soo’n rotterige galge
mut—dat krinkt mij. Ik bin ’n fatsoendelik burgermanskiin fan ’e stad
fan Dokkum, fan ouder tot foorouder. In dat ik nou an soo’n wrak,
onsjog ding bongele sil, daair skiet mij ’t moed fan fol. [13]Waar it nog
’n knappe, krease galge, ik suud d’r niks fan segge. Sien! ik hew miin
leven lang feul fan Luwarden seggen hoord, dat it soo’n mooie stad
is, in sukke mooie groote huzen, in alles like deftig, knap in kreas.
Mar die rotterige galge, die skeint de hele stad. It is suver en skande
foor de hoofdstad fan Friesland. In jimme Luwarders! jimme sille om
die oude galge, nog ’n kwaaide naaim krije bij andere lui. Dit is te
slim, Heeren! fur ’n fatsoendelik burgermanskiin fan Dokkum!”

Mar, ons maat mocht lipe of pipe, in hij mocht hoog springe of leeg
springe, dat holp him allemaal niks. Hij muste d’r an geloove. In gien
twie minuten later, doe bongeld’-i al boven an ’t dwarshout fan ’e
galge.

Nou, doe dat karwei dan ofloopen waar, doe seide de burgemeester
fan Leewarden teugen ’e froedsmannen: „Hur ’ris! die Dokkumer
kleermaker het geliik had. Ik wude d’r niks fan segge, daar die man
bij waar, mar geliik het-i. Ons galge is te min. In d’r mut ferandering
komme; anders houdt heele Friesland ons nog voor de gek. Wij
binne ’t an de eere in an de goede naam fan ons stad ferplicht, om
hierin ferbetering an te brengen. In kan d’r dan gien gloednije galge
op staan, in fredesnaam! dan mutte wij de oude galge mar wat
oplappe in opknappe. Dat kan oek best!”
In soo wudde ’t dan besloten. De stads-timmerbaas hakte de
rotterige steden d’r uut, in-i sette daar nije stukken foor in ’t plak, in-i
bespikerde de galge wat, in-i skoorde ’m wat. In doe ferwde de
ferwer him mooi rood op. In sie daar! de galge waar alheel oplapt in
opknapt, in-i leek wel weer nij.

Ja—mar de Leewarders, omdat se soo skriel waren, dat se gien nije


galge betale wuden, die hewwe daar fan de bijnaam kregen van:

Leewarder Galgelappers

tot ’e dag fan fandaag toe. In se salle him wel houde, soo lang as
Leewarden bestaat, in soo lang as d’r Leewarders binne. In wij wille
hope dat dat nog duzent jaar in langer dure sal!

Na de Leeuwarder S p e k n e k k e n en G a l g e l a p p e r s zijn de
andere Friesche stedelingen aan de beurt. Dat zijn dan de
[14]To b b e d o u n s e r s van Harlingen, de D ú m k e f r e t t e r s van
Sneek, de O a l j e k o e k e n van Bolsward, de G a r n a t e n van
Dokkum, de K l o k k e d i e v e n van Franeker, de B r ij b e k k e n van
Workum, de R i b b e k l i u w e r s van Staveren, de K e a p m a n k e s
van IJlst, en de T j e e u n k e n van Hindeloopen. De burgers van
Slooten zijn eigenlijk geen bijnaam rijk; maar over hen zal verder in
dit opstel nog gesproken worden.

Te Harlingen waren oudtijds vele weverijen, waar eene bijzondere


soort van linnen (later katoenen) stof vervaardigd werd; wit, met
licht-blauwe ruitjes in verschillende teekening. Dit weefsel, deze
kleedingstof had eenen zeer goeden naam in den lande, wegens
hare deugdelijkheid, hare sterkte en haar fraai voorkomen. Ze werd
vooral voor vrouwenschorten of voorschooten gebruikt, en ze was
(en is nog heden, al wordt ze te Harlingen niet meer gemaakt) in
Friesland als Harnser bûnt, Harlinger bont, in andere Nederlandsche
gewesten als Friesch bont bekend. Dit maken van Harlinger bont
geschiedde te Harlingen door wevers en verwers in het klein, bij
wijze van handwerk, in het eigene woonhuis. Dat was lang voor den
tijd van groote stoomfabrieken en van maatschappijen tot uitoefening
van allerlei takken van nijverheid in het groot. Iedere burger, iedere
„baas”, werkte toen op zich zelven en voor zich zelven als vrij man.
Als het linnen garen dan ook blauw geverfd was geworden, moest
het ter dege in frisch water uitgespoeld worden, eer het gebruikt, eer
het geweven werd. Dat uitspoelen geschiedde in groote kuipen, en
de verwer sprong met bloote beenen in die kuip of tobbe, en
bearbeidde het garen, al trappelende met zijne voeten, tot het
spoelwater helder en ongekleurd afliep, en het garen niet meer
afgaf. De Harlinger stoffenverwer stond als ’t ware te dansen in de
tobbe, en dat zonderling en dwaas schijnende werk heeft den
Harlingers in ’t algemeen hunnen spotnaam van Tobbedansers
bezorgd.

Nijverheid, van welken aard ook, is eigenlijk den echten Fries, die
boer of zeeman is, een vreemd bedrijf. Nijverheid heeft dan ook
nooit vasten voet in Friesland kunnen vatten, vooral geen nijverheid
in ’t groot. En die daar dan nog de eene of andere tak van
noodzakelijke nijverheid uitoefende, deed dit in ’t klein, en was in
den regel een vreemdeling, veelal een [15]„Bovenlander”, uit
Westfalen, uit Lippe of uit Hessen. Zulk een vreemdeling was bij
voorbeeld ook Toon Wever, die in de geestige zedeschets van Dr.
Eeltje Halbertsma, in De Reis nei de Jichtmasters zijn rol speelt.
Ook de Harlinger-bontwevers en verwers waren oorspronkelijk
vreemdelingen in Friesland, die hunne kunst, hunne nijverheid uit
Vlaanderen, hun vaderland, waar ze, om geloofs wille, in de 16de en
17de eeuw waren uitgedreven, naar Friesland hadden meêgebracht,
en in hunne nieuwe woonplaats uitoefenden, tot eigen opkomst en
bloei, en almede tot opkomst en bloei van Harlingen. Die verdrevene
Vlaamsche nijverlingen waren Doopsgezinden, en ze stichtten te
Harlingen, te Haarlem, aan de Zaan en elders hunne eigene
kerkelijke gemeenten, wier leden nog tot in het laatst der vorige
eeuw als „Vlamingen”, als „Oude Vlamingen”, als „Vlaamsche
Mennisten” in Friesland en Holland bekend waren, en zich van de
landseigene Mennonieten afgezonderd hielden. Hunne
nakomelingen zijn nog heden ten dage aan hun veelal bijzonder
Vlaamsche namen, en aan andere bijzondere zaken kenbaar.—

De Sneekers heeten D ú m k e f r e t t e r s . Het ligt voor de hand aan


te nemen, dat de Sneekers van ouds bijzondere liefhebbers zijn
geweest van dúmkes, dus gaarne en veelvuldig dúmkes aten, en
alzoo zich dezen spotnaam verwierven. Een bijzonder soort van
klein gebak, van koekjes, hard, droog en zoet, en rijkelijk met halve
amandelen doorspekt (zal ik maar zeggen), in vorm eeniger mate en
in grootte als een mansduim, draagt den naam van dúmkes
(duumkes), verhollandscht tot duimpjes, en ook wel den griezeligen,
alle eetlust benemenden naam van „doodemansfingers”. Die
dúmkes zijn overal in Friesland bekend, en worden er vooral in
kermistijd veelvuldig als snoeperij gegeten. Dus zegt ook Hoatse, de
bloode vrijer uit het aardige liedje van De Boalserter Merke (bij de
Friezen zoo zeer bekend, en zoo gaarne door hen gezongen), als hij
voornemens is van de kermis naar huis toe te gaan:

„Ik koft hwet dúmkes for de bern.”

De Sneeker koekbakkers kunnen anders niet uit tegen die van


Franeker, in het bakken van bijzonder lekkere dúmkes. De Franeker
dúmkes hebben den voorrang bij de Friezen, en [16]genieten zekere
mate van bekendheid, ja van roem. Toch is ook Sneek niet verstoken
van eene eigene lekkernij; de drabbelkoeken van Sneek zijn
vermaard. Ik zie waarlijk geen kans, om dat eigenaardige gebak hier
duidelijk te beschrijven. Die het kennen wil, koope het en ete het. In
blikken bussen gesloten, naar hedendaagsch gebruik, zijn de
Sneeker drabbelkoeken tegenwoordig ook in Holland en andere
Nederlandsche gewesten verkrijgbaar.

Nog eene bijzonderheid; de drabbelkoeken hebben van ouds te


Leeuwarden eenen eigenen naam. De Leeuwarders noemen ze
keugels. Ik versta dezen naam niet, al ben ik Leeuwarder van ouder
tot voorouder. Het Nederlandsche woord kogel is het niet—al zoude
de vorm van den drabbelkoek anders wel aanleiding kunnen geven
tot dezen naam; immers een kogel heet in de Oud-Leeuwarder
spreektaal ’n koegel.

Ook die van Bolsward dragen hunnen spotnaam, die aan eene
lekkernij, aan zeker gebak ontleend is. De Bolswarders heeten
O a l j e k o e k e n , Oliekoeken.

Oliekoeken zijn zeker eene versnapering, die bijzonderlijk bij de


Friezen in ’t algemeen veel gebakken en veel gegeten werd, en nog
wordt, en die bij het Friesche volk zeer in den smaak viel, en nog
valt; ofschoon—heden ook al minder dan vroeger. In vroegere tijden,
veertig en vijftig jaren geleden, waren de Friesche oliekoek- en
wafelkramen op alle kermissen, ook in Holland en andere
Nederlandsche gewesten te vinden. Het bakken van de bruin-
glanzende oliekoeken, op een rookend vuur van turf en hout,
verspreidde zijnen vettigen, scherpen, eigenaardigen walmgeur over
alle kermissen in den lande, en het Friesche famke (meisje), Friesch
sprekende en in Friesche kleeding, dat de oliekoek- of
wafelssmullende gasten in het kraamke bediende, of anders het
gebak aan de huizen der ingezetenen bracht of in de straten
uitventte, was als „Friesch wafelmeisje” alom bekend. Zij vervulde
eene vroolijke, vriendelijke rol in het Oud-Nederlandsche volksleven,
en is in het bekende werk De Nederlanden, Karakterschetsen, enz.
(’s-Gravenhage, Nederl. Maatschappij van Schoone Kunsten, 1862),
in woord en beeld verheerlijkt. [17]

Zulk eene Friesche wafel- en oliekoekenkraam zag ik nog ten jare


1878 te Hamburg, op de Neumarkt, nadat al in de verte de
eigenaardige walm aan het oliekoekbakken verbonden, mijne
reukzenuwen had geprikkeld, en, onbewust, Oud-Vaderlandsche
herinneringen bij mij had opgewekt. En een paar jaren later zag ik er
nog eene te Brussel, op het plein bij de Halsche Poort. Beide keeren
kon ik het niet laten mijnen landsman, die daar oliekoeken zat te
bakken, eens vriendelijk goeden dag te zeggen, en den man en zijne
vrouw, die met een oorijzer getooid was, eens aan te spreken in de
zoete klanken der Friesche moedertaal.

Omstreeks het midden dezer eeuw werden oliekoeken nog te


Leeuwarden op straat uitgevent, vooral des Zondags-avonds, en
meest in de buiten- en achterbuurten der stad. Dan galmde het
geroep „Oliekoeken hie-ie-iet, hiet ende warrem!” op lang gerekten,
weemoedig-zangerigen toon, door de stille straten. De verkooper
had zijne oliekoeken in eenen grooten schotel van grof aardewerk,
dien hij in eene hengselmand aan den arm droeg; en, om zijne waar
hiet ende warrem te houden, had hij een kussen boven op het
deksel van den schotel gelegd. Uit dezen ouden woordvorm ende
(min of meer als inne klinkende), die bij dezen oliekoekenroep nog
steeds voluit werd gesproken, blijkt het dat deze wijze om oliekoeken
uit te venten, al zeer oud, wel minstens twee-honderd jaren oud was.
In de dagelijksche spreektaal der Leeuwarders van deze eeuw werd
ende (inne) nooit meer gezegd.—Ook op de Oude Veemarkt te
Leeuwarden zaten er op marktdag altijd een paar oude wijfkes, bij
den ingang van het marktplein, te oliekoekbakken, ten dienste van
de veedrijvers, die het vette gebak zóó uit de hand opaten, en
hunnen voorraad daarvan soms in hunne petten bewaarden. En des
winters, bij mooi ijs, als schier alle Friezen en Friezinnen tusschen
de zes en de tachtig jaren, op schaatsen waren, zaten er hier en
daar te lande, onder bruggen waar veel volk onder door reed, en bij
de toegangen der waterherbergen, 3 waar veel volk inkeerde, oude
vrouwen te oliekoekbakken, met vuurpot en bakpot in eene oude
theekist, voor den wind. Vooral de vrouw, [18]die onder de brug van
Uultsjestein (aan de Bolswarder trekvaart, halfweg Leeuwarden en
Bolsward) oliekoeken bakte, had veel gunst van Leeuwarder
jongelieden, die reeds bij haar hunnen voorraad oliekoeken
opdeden, waarmede zij de Bolswarders zouden hoonen, zoo als hier
vervolgens zal vermeld worden.

Maar—om op de Bolswarder oliekoeken in het bijzonder terug te


komen—of men nu dit volkseigene gebak oudtijds te Bolsward
bijzonder lekker wist te maken, dan wel of de Bolswarder burgers het
bijzonder gaarne en veelvuldig aten, daarvan melden „’s Lands
Historieblaân” niemendal. Toch heeft iemand verkondigd dat de
bijnaam der Bolswarders (Oliekoeken) wel degelijk eenen
geschiedkundigen oorsprong zoude hebben. Paulus C. Scheltema
vermeldt in zijne Verzameling van Spreekwoorden (Franeker, 1826)
het volgende: „Zoo stamt de naam, waarmede men de Bolswarders
alsnog betitelt, af van den hoofdman over Bolsward, Edo Jongema,
die vreemde gezanten, bij zekere gelegenheid op oliekoeken
onthaalde. Het spreekwoord Bolswarder oliekoeken was reeds
bekend in de vijftiende eeuw.”

Waar of Scheltema dit bericht vandaan had, heeft nog geen


Friesche navorscher ooit kunnen ontdekken; en of hij het misschien
uit den mond des volks heeft opgeteekend, meen ik sterk te mogen
betwijfelen. Immers als zulk eene overlevering, sedert de vijftiende
eeuw, nog in de eerste helft dezer eeuw bij den volke bekend
geweest was, me dunkt dan kon ze in de laatste helft dezer eeuw
moeielijk geheel en al reeds bij het volk vergeten zijn. Toch hebben
anderen en ik nooit ofte nimmer gehoord noch bespeurd, dat het
volk iets wist van deze oliekoeken van Jonker Edo. Trouwens, men
dient Scheltema’s mededeelingen altijd cum grano salis op te
vatten; dit is bij de Friesche geschied- en oudheidkundigen bekend
genoeg.

Een ander weet er weêr wat anders op ter verklaring van den
spotnaam der Bolswarders. Waling Dykstra schrijft daarvan in zijn
werkje In doaze fol âlde Snypsnaren (Frjentsjer, 1882):

„To Bolswert plichte in oaljemounle to wêzen der sokke bêste lyn- en


raepkoeken makke waerden, dat de lju fier en hein der fen ha
woene. Dy neamde men den, om de aerdichheid, Bolswerter
oaljekoeken.” [19]

Maar het volk weet ook niets af van die oliekoeken voor het vee. Het
Friesche volk kent, in betrekking tot de Bolswarders, slechts de
oliekoeken voor de menschen. Om nu de Bolswarders niet openlijk
en luide met dezen spotnaam te noemen, maar toch stilzwijgende
daar mede te plagen, als door een teeken, rijden de jonge lieden uit
andere plaatsen, des winters als er ijs is, wel te Bolsward op de
gracht, die de geheele stad omgeeft, met een oliekoek op de punt
van de schaats gestoken, gespietst. De Bolswarders plegen deze
hoon en smaad, hunner oude en wijdvermaarde stede aangedaan,
bijzonder kwalijk op te vatten. Zij vergelden deze beleediging
gaarne, als ze daar kans toe zien, door de bedrijvers van die, in
hunne oogen zoo gruwelijke wandaad, eens flink af te kloppen.
Menigeen die het stoute stuk waagde te Bolsward op de gracht te
rijden met oliekoeken op de schaatspunten, heeft deze zijne koene
daad moeten boeten met een duchtig pak slagen, dat de verwoede
Bolswarders hem gratis verstrekten, en dat lang niet malsch was,
zoodat er wel blauwe oogen, bebloede koppen en andere
krijgstropheeën bij te pas kwamen. Het gold in mijne jeugd dan ook
nog voor eene schitterende heldendaad, bij de jongelieden van
Leeuwarden, Sneek, Makkum, Harlingen, Franeker en de tusschen
gelegene dorpen, als men te Bolsward de gracht om de stad
rondgereden was, met oliekoeken op de schaatspunten. Want bij
mooi weêr en mooi ijs, als het Friesche jongvolk, in kleine of groote
gezelschappen vereenigd, voor pleizier naar naburige, vaak ook
naar ver verwijderde plaatsen reed, stonden de Bolswarder jongelui
(die anders ook wel uitgereden waren, maar waarvan er altijd
eenigen opzettelijk om in de stad bleven) wel op den uitkijk of ook
een vreemdeling het zoude wagen dien smaad hunner stede toe te
voegen. En wee hem, dien ze betrapten en achterhaalden! Er
behoorde moed toe om het stuk te bestaan, en vlugheid en
behendigheid om de Bolswarder hoonwrekers te ontkomen. Slechts
kloeke, dappere jongelingen, flinke schaatsrijders tevens, waagden
zich daaraan.

Waarlijk, eene eigenaardige, echt Oud-Vaderlandsche soort van


sport, die geen Engelschman den Frieschen jongelingen had
behoeven te leeren! Die de gracht van Bolsward rond gereden had,
de geheele stad om, met oliekoeken op de schaatsen, [20]gevolgd,
maar niet ingehaald noch gegrepen door de wraaksnuivende bende
Bolswarder hoonwrekers, was de held van den winter in ’t geheele
Friesche land.

De Friezen zijn van ouds bekend als liefhebbers van zoetigheid,


vooral van allerlei soorten koek en zoet gebak. Ook wordt in de
Friesche keuken veelvuldiger en meer suiker gebruikt bij de
bereiding der spijzen dan in andere Nederlandsche gewesten
gebruikelijk is, veelvuldiger en meer dan den smaak der andere
Nederlanders behaagt. Trouwens, hoe noordelijker men komt, hoe
meer de smaak voor zoetigheid toeneemt bij ’t eenvoudige, krachtige
en frissche, door de scherpe prikkels der verfijnde Fransche kokerij
niet verwende en bedorvene volk. In Skandinavië staat de suikerpot
bij het middagmaal altijd op tafel, zoo als bij ons het zoutvaatje, de
peperbus, het mosterdpotje, enz. Zelfs strooit men in Zweden wel
suiker over gebakken visch, en voor de Lappen is een mondvol
keukenstroop de grootste lekkernij.

De liefhebberij der Friezen voor zoet gebak blijkt almede uit hunne
hiervoren verklaarde spotnamen D ú m k e f r e t t e r s en
O a l j e k o e k e n , en blijkt ook uit den spotnaam, dien men den
ingezetenen van ’t stedeke IJlst aanhangt. De lieden van IJlst (of van
Drylts, zoo als de Friezen zelven dit plaatske noemen—en die zullen
toch wel best weten hoe het heet—), de lieden van Drylts dan noemt
men K e a p m a n k e s of K e a p m a n t s j e s , K j e p m a n k e s of
K y p m a n k e s ; ik weet waarlijk niet hoe ik dezen naam best
spellen zal. Waling Dykstra zegt van dezen naam, in zijne Doaze
fol alde Snypsnaren: „To Drylts wirdt en soarte fen moppen bakt, dy
kypmantsjes neamd wirde. Dy ’t winters oer iis to Drylts komt, moat
kypmantsjes mei nei hûs nimme.” 4

Ook de ingezetenen van ’t dorp Hallum dragen hunnen spotnaam


naar hunne liefhebberij voor koeketen; zij heeten
K o e k e f r e t t e r s . Over de Amsterdamsche koeketers vindt men
verder in dit opstel nader bescheid. [21]

Niet aan zoetigheid, maar aan eene hartige versnapering danken (of
wijten) de Dokkumers hunnen spotnaam. Zij heeten namelijk
Garnaten.

Garnaet is het Friesche woord, beter gezegd: de Friesche


woordvorm voor het bekende schaaldiertje Crangon vulgaris, dat in ’t
Hollandsch Garnaal heet. De Oud- en Echt-Dietsche, de
oorspronkelijke en volledige naam van den Crangon is Geernaart,
Gernaart of Garnaart—dat is ’t zelfde, met een gering, onwezenlijk
verschil in uitspraak of tongval. De West-Vlamingen, die onder alle
Nederlanders juist het beste de oorspronkelijke, oude woorden en
woordvormen tot op den dag van heden in hunne spreek- en
schrijftaal hebben bewaard, zeggen nog voluit Geernaart, of, bij
afslijting der sluitletter, Geernaar (Zie De Bo, Westvlaamsch
Idioticon, op dat woord). Even als de West-Vlamingen de laatste
letter in dit woord wel veronachtzamen, doen de Friezen dit met de
voorlaatste, met de r. Trouwens, dit is geheel volgens den aard der
Friesche taal, geheel volgens de volkseigene uitspraak der Friezen,
die in al zulke woorden, vooral als de r op eene d of op eene t stuit,
die r zóó flauw uitspreken, dat zij ter nauwer nood of ook in ’t geheel
niet gehoord wordt. De Friezen zeggen dan Garnaet (Garnaat), met
de volle stemzate op de laatste lettergreep, waardoor de eerste
lettergreep zoo onduidelijk wordt, dat het woord in den mond van
geheel ongeletterden en van slordig sprekenden wel als Ge’naat
luidt. Deze woordvorm en uitspraak geldt ook voor andere Friesche
gewesten, voor Groningerland, Oost- en Weser-Friesland, met dit
onderscheid, dat de oostelijk wonende Friezen de a van de laatste
lettergreep niet zuiver, maar op Sassische wijze, sterk naar de o
zweemende, uitspreken. De Hollanders vervallen weêr in eene
andere fout, door hunne eigenaardige uitspraak van dit woord,
waarbij de t aan ’t einde, even als bij de West-Vlamingen, vervalt,
maar tevens de r in eene l overgaat (r en l zijn wisselletters). Zoo is
uit deze bijzonder-Hollandsche tongvalsvorm de hedendaagsche
geijkt-Nederlandsche naam Garnaal ontstaan. De Strand-Hollanders
spreken den zuiveren, onzijdigen aklank van ’t woord garnaal,
volgens hunnen eigenen tongval, al blatende, naar de e
zweemende, als æ uit. Te Haarlem hoort men de Zandvoorders
(visscherlui van het zeedorp Zandvoort) hunne waar op
[22]zangerigen toon uitventen, zoodat het des morgens al vroeg door
de straten der stad galmt: Garn æ æ le-n—ekoakte garn æ æ le!”
Noordelijker nog in Noord-Holland gaat de Strand-Hollandsche æ
klank in de West-Friesche volkomene e over. Men spreekt daar van
Garneel, of, gerekt, Garreneel. Zie Dr. G. J. Boekenoogen, De
Zaansche volkstaal. De Hoogduitschers, op hunne bergen en in
hunne bosschen van geen Geernaarts wetende, hebben voor hunne
boeketaal den Noord-Hollandschen vorm des woord overgenomen,
ofschoon anders de Oost-Friesche vorm hen toch veel nader lag.
Immers den Crangon noemen ze Garnele.

De Dokkumers dan heeten G a r n a t e n . Hoe ze aan dien naam


gekomen zijn, daarvan weet het volksverhaal eene heele
geschiedenis te vertellen, eene geschiedenis die men uitvoerig, en
op geestige wijze naverteld, kan lezen in de Rimen ind Teltsjes fen
de Broarren Halbertsma, het geliefde volksboek als bij
uitnemendheid, van de Friezen. Uit dat werk heb ik die geschiedenis
hier overgenomen en uit het Friesch in het algemeen Nederlandsch
vertaald, waarbij ik echter de Dokkumers, den Groninger en den
Duitscher hunne volkseigene spreektaal heb laten houden.

Het is gebeurd in het jaar 1623, dat een schipper met eene lading
hout uit Noorwegen kwam, en te Ezumazijl 5 binnen liep. Die
schipper had uit aardigheid eenige levende kreeften in eenen korf
meegebracht voor zijnen reeder, die te Leeuwarden woonde. Dien
korf met kreeften droeg hij ’s avonds, toen het al duister was, door
de stad Dokkum, en toen kwam er, bij ongeluk een van die beesten
uit de mand te vallen, juist voor de deur van zekeren vroedsman,
Grada. Des anderen daags, ’s morgens vroeg, toen de dienstmaagd
de straat zoude aanvegen, vond zij dat beest daar liggen. Zij liep
verschrikt het huis weêr in, en riep: „Heere, Froedsman! Kom gau ’ris
foor deur. Heere, wat leit daair ’n raair ding op ’e straaite?”
Vroedsman, met eene roode kamerjapon aan, met de witte
slaapmuts op het hoofd, en met afgezakte kousen, liep terstond naar
buiten. Hij sloeg de handen van verbazing in één, en zei: „Dit is ’n
mirakel! suud dat ok ’n jong weze van die roek, die hier boven in ’e
lynneboom nestelt?” [23]Het duurde niet lang of daar liep al spoedig
een half honderd menschen bijéén, om het schepsel te beschouwen.
Een catechiseermeester, die daar ook voorbij kwam, riep: „Minsken!
minsken! sien it beest dochs niet an; want ik loof dat it de Basiliscus
is, daar men fan in ’e Skrift leest; it kon jimme allegaar it leven
koste.”—” ’t Mocht in skyt, meester!” zeide een turfdrager, die daar
met zijn korf voorbij kwam, „ik hew him al goed in siin freet sien; ’t
stomme beest sal ons niks doen, in die d’r in mingelen bier foor over
het, dan sal ik him daaidlik met de tange in miin korf legge, in
draaige him waair de frinden him hewwe wille.”—„Dat gaait an!” zei
vroedsman. De tang werd gehaald, de kreeft in den korf gelegd, en
toen ging de man eerst naar de brouwerij, om zijn kan bier op te
drinken. Daar van daan recht uit naar den burgemeester, met een
troep straatjongens achteraan. De turfdrager zette den korf in het
voorhuis neêr, en vroedsman ging in de kamer bij burgemeester. Hij
sprak den burgemeester met een erg bedrukt en verschrikt gezicht
aan, en zei: „Goeie morgen, Burgemeister!”—„Goeden morgen,
Froedsman! Jou hier soo froeg al over de floer, man?”—„Ja,
Burgemeister! Wij hewwe hier ’n raair stuk, Burgemeister. Wij hewwe
fan ’e morgén ’n levendig ding op straait fonnen, en gien minske
weet wat ding of it is, of hoe it hiet, Burgemeister. Wij hewwe it
metnomen, Burgemeister: it staait in ’t foorhuus, Burgemeister. Wil
Burgemeister it ok ’ris sien, Burgemeister?”—„Fooral in believen,
Froedsman!” zei die heer; „Jou wete, seldsaamheden bin ik altoos
nieuwsgierig na.” De Burgemeester, die een eerste grappenmaker
was, zag terstond wel dat het een kreeft was, maar hij hield zich nog
dommer als de vroedsman eigenlijk was. Hij sloeg dan de handen
samen en zei: „Froedsman! Froedsman! ik loof dat er ons slimme
dingen over ’t hoofd hange! Soo’n ding staat in gien kronyk
beschreven, in soo lang as de wereld staat is er soo’n ding in
Dokkum niet vertoond. Het is een stuk van te feel belang. Daarom
gefoel ik mij verplicht om nog heden morgen om tien uur den raad te
beleggen, om dan te bepalen, wat of wij met dit monster sullen
aanfangen.—Jou komme dochs ok, Froedsman?”—„Ja wis,
Burgemeister!”
Des morgens om tien ure dan kwamen de Heeren bij elkanderen
[24]in het Raadhuis. De mand met den kreeft er in werd in de
Raadzaal gebracht; ieder van de Heeren zag beurt voor beurt in de
mand, en ging daarna weêr op zijne plaats zitten. Sommigen van de
Heeren waren maar juist dapper genoeg om het onnoozele beest
aan te durven zien. Toen allen weer gezeten waren, zei de
Burgemeester: „Heeren van de Raad van Dokkum! De Heeren
hebben gezien dat er in onze stad een wonderlijk creatuur gefonden
is, en daar men niet weet, welk dier dit is, en fanwaar het gekomen
is, soo heb ik het selve hier gebracht ten einde het advys fan de
Heeren te hooren. Daarom U, froedsman Grada! als de oudste fan
den raad dezer stad, fraag ik het eerst: wat dunkt u fan dit beest?”

„Ikke?” zei vroedsman Grada, „ik bliif bij miin eerste advys, dat it
namentlik ien fan die jonge roeken is, die foor miin deur daair in die
hooge lynneboomen nestele; want waar duvel suud it ding anders
wegkomen weze? ’t Kan ok niet uut ’e straaitstienen kropen weze.”

„Daar ben je mis in, Froedsman!” zei de burgemeester. „Mijn soon


heeft onlangs een nest fol roeken uitgehaald, en die jonge roeken
geleken nergens meer op as op oude roeken. Nu is de beurt aan u,
froedsman Inia!”

„Heeremistiid, Burgemeister! wat weet ik, froedsman Yuje, fan


fremde gediertens. Ik hew wel seggen hoord, dat de kanarjefeugels,
as se jong binne, dat se dan kropen. Suud it ok ’n kanarjefeugel
weze?”

„Zou een jong kanariefogel dan grooter zijn als een oude? Dat
spreekt sich immers selfs tegen,” sprak daarop de burgemeester.

„Dat weet ik niet,” zei vroedsman Inia. „Wij sien alderdegenst, dat
groote minsken klein wudde kinne. Miin grootfader is fan
burgemeister al bierdrager wudden.”
