Something is wrong with the translation "venijnboom". When I look in the Dutch wikipedia, the venijnboom is part of the taxus family. When I look in the English wikipedia, taxus is a genus of yews. Hence, I think venijnboom is too specific a translation. Also I never heard the word before and it is not present in the online Van Dale dictionary or in Het Groene Boekje (). I would suggest the translation "taxus".

Also I doubt "ijf" (mentioned in the etymology) is really present-day Dutch. It is neither present in Van Dale or in Het Groene Boekje and I never heard it.
