TÍS

[001/14] WAS ALL GO.RÉD ANDA TÍS

Bruce: I’m skeptical of the translation “in a state of confusion” here. Can you cite the cognate to TÍS? My gut tells me something like Dutch: twist; German: Zwist.

This is what I've made of it so far: ‘But after more than three days and nights, the whole council was arguing and had made no progress.’

Jan: It is on a list of so-called forgotten words:

tis v. tissen, tist 1 streng, vlecht, met name een die moeilijk te ontwarren is: in de tis in de war • Zaans tis, tist • ~ °tijzen ‘prikken; plukken’

My Frisian and Westfrisian dictionaries have similar entries (tiis, resp. tis).
