Great initiative, I will tell my friends that are coming to the ICM conference to buy some for me.
In Flamish and Dutch the normal word for midwife is 'vroedvrouw'. Some ancient names are 'baker' or 'bakel'or 'goeivrouw' a modern word is also 'verloskundige' but it is much smaller in meaning as 'vroedvrouw'. 'vroedvrouw' means 'wijze vrouw' as in French 'sage-femme' In German a midwife is called 'Hebamme' greetings Lieve >----- Oorspronkelijk bericht ----- >Van: midwives [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Verzonden: donderdag, juni 16, 2005 03:11 AM >Aan: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au >Onderwerp: RE: [ozmidwifery] International words for midwife > >Many thanks great site > >Renee Kludas >NSW Midwives Association Inc >PO Box 62 Glebe 2037 >P+ 02 9281 9522 >F+ 02 9281 0335 >E+ [EMAIL PROTECTED] >W+ www.nswmidwives.com.au >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jennifairy >Sent: Wednesday, 15 June 2005 8:03 PM >To: ozmidwifery@acegraphics.com.au >Subject: Re: [ozmidwifery] International words for midwife > >try this site: >http://www.websters-dictionary-online.org/definition/midwife#Mtranslation >scroll down to 'translations' >an interesting site, huh? >cheers >jennifairy > >midwives wrote: > >> Hi everyone, I was wondering if you would be able to help me.
