Nancy,
congratulations. This is no ordinary German word.
> "Gespelt" means warp thread. So "mit xiii gespelt" would mean "with 13 warp
> threads".
Curious minds want to know the origin of the Word "Gespelt". First of
all, what language is it? My guess is Old Germman. (Althochdeutsch,
Mittelhochdeutsch, Plattdeutsch?) Is it related to such words as "Spalte" and
"gespalten" which could describe the reed.
