https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klewang In Dutch it became part of our language as we have an expression “chase someone over the Klewang” … Guess the meaning is quite obvious, as it is a quite rude way as well to express a deadly battle encounter / situation. Became very fast integrated into the Dutch language: I recall my late father using it easily when describing the WWII encounters with the Japanese in the very few occasions he spoke about that time…. So it is very understandable the likes of Hembrug produced these klewangs |
