<HTML>Aren't there more Dutch nautical terms that sound the same in Russian?

Fokkemast
Bootsman
Anker

Lots of them have been used in English, too. The nicest one is 'upphrow' (some sort of a tackle). It's been taken from the Dutch word 'juffrouw', which means 'miss'. Why sailors in the 16th century associated a young lady with a tackle, I leave to your own imagination :)</HTML>
