knoeften

Dutch, doesn't seem citable. ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 11:29, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

It is not hard to find independent examples of actual use (like e.g. here or here), but unfortunately almost all not durably archived. One durable cite here, and another one, apparently – I don’t feel like registering – here; according to Google: “Ik zit urenlang in mijn wijngaard te 'knoeften' en dan krijg ik zoiets op mijn dak!”. It is mentioned here, with an example of use; I don’t know if that is a real use or a made-up one.  --Lambiam 22:38, 20 December 2019 (UTC)

Also findable in some news sources (as quotes), which may prove more durable: [1], Gazet van Zurenborg 2013-Editie1: [2], [3] . Morgengave (talk) 09:49, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

@Morgengave Okay, this seems enough to make it pass. I'll add the quotes later. Is it common in spoken language? ←₰-→ Lingo ^Bingo _Dingo (talk) 10:39, 27 January 2020 (UTC)

@Lingo Bingo Dingo In informal settings in Brabantic Dutch (Vlaams-Brabant, Antwerp): yes. In formal setting or informally elsewhere in Belgium: not so much. Morgengave (talk) 18:26, 27 January 2020 (UTC)
