 * Not English, no. But someone who speaks Dutch might have a better idea. --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 09:32, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * I've had a stab, but someone who actually knows Dutch should definitely clean it up. A lot. --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 09:51, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
 * , can you shed any light on this word? Is the definition accurate? - -sche (discuss) 02:59, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * A Dutch spelling of lock and load, maybe? Chuck Entz (talk) 05:38, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * No, I'm pretty sure it's "Cloth-lead", being a cast or pressed lead seal with marks to show quality and origin of bolts of cloth. One of the quotes I found mentioned "staalloden" as well. See also http://wf4.nl/Index/indexlakenloden1.htm for examples of the object, and this bachelors thesis (in Dutch) on the subject. On further investigation, "Cloth Seal" might be a better translation, but that would still need an explanation for what a "Cloth Seal" actually is.
 * unless you're joking. I can't always tell. --Catsidhe (verba, facta) 06:41, 3 April 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not familiar with this word in Dutch, but it does indeed transparently mean "sheet lead". So it may well exist. Judging by Lakenlood, the definition is accurate. Personally, my first guess was that this was some kind of weight added to the end of a tablecloth or similar, to weigh it down and keep it from blowing around in the wind or something. I've seen things like that before. 08:27, 11 July 2014 (UTC)
