 * no, kempt in Middle English must have meant the same as in German. There is even an entry for the obsolete (ME?) verb kemb: in  with one quotation, if you are interested. The uſer hight Bogorm converſation 09:19, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

I had a look at it and found it indeed interesting, thank you!!space "ongelikt" figuratively for 'rude'in Brabantian, kind of a lowere German dialect, basis of Dutch, I addet it as I felt it was kind of related, comes from" un Licked bear", like what the cat does ingroming[in the proverbial bear doznt so it refers to a person without manners/who has no manners, but to be sureI would have to look it up myself again, I have to admit, even being a native speaker [perhaps it is in the wictionary]--史凡 12:29, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
