Abstract
In this contribution I present the Frisian cognates of ModDu. duwen ‘to push’ etc. Although cognate forms of this verb are found in the older and, partly, the younger stages of all West Germanic languages, it has not, as yet, been found in Old Frisian and its modern dialects. The aim of this study is, first of all, to fill this unexpected gap and, more generally, to take a closer look at the word field of ‘to push, to press’ in Frisian.
