Bönhase

The definition of Bönhase is completely incorrect. w:de:Bönhase explains it, but I cannot condense that into a short dictionary entry. Anyone else care to try? Beobach972 00:42, 6 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unless I’m missing something, Bönhase says it means cat; then looking at w:de:Bönhase, it says it means cat. —Stephen 15:39, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Eh? As far as I can tell, w:de: says that Dachhase means a kind of cat; and Bönhase means something to do with being a middle-ages merchant who built things without the permission of the local guid mafia, or something like that. Vytautniks 16:19, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
w:de:Bönhase says: "Bönhase, also Böhnhase or Beinhase, see Dachhase = cat."—Stephen 17:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Aeh, I found him in the German wiktionary (de:wikt). That sheds some light. Appearently Bönhase is slang for cat; but the meaning of the word is 'ein Handwerker, der in keiner Zunft ist; später übertragenen: Stümper' : a manual labourer, which is a member of no guild'.
