Cavell, meaning of

I concur entirely with the etymology of the word *cavell* given at p. 473. A lake having been drained in my country, the land is still divided into *Kavelingen*; as lots of land were formerly measured by strings of cord, *kavel*, *kabel*, *cable*. Vide Tuinman *Trakkel*, d. n. t. p. 165. *Kavelloten* is to receive a cavell by *lot.* cf. *Idem, Verrolg*, p. 97.
