kruus (masculine kruuse, feminine and plural kruus or kruuse, comparative kruuser, superlative et kruuste)

    • 1910, “Et Stina muss ’ne Mann han”, Willi Ostermann (lyrics), Emil Palm (music)‎performed by Bläck Fööss, published 1985:
      Em Stadtwald, em Zoolonische, em Nommedaachskunzäät:
      Die drei dann do ze setze sinn, dat es der Möhde wäät!
      Dä Aal, dä deit de Muul nit op, sei trick de Leppe kruus,
      Un wie e Hohn, dat hallev jeplöck, su süht dat Stina us.
      In the urban woods, at the zoo, the afternoon concert,
      You'll find the three of them sitting there and it's a sight worth seeing!
      The old man won't open his mouth, wrinkles her lips,
      While Stina looks like a half-plucked chicken.
