===Dutch=== A number of PSMs exist in [[Dutch language|Dutch]] as well. One notable example is {{lang|nl|hangmat}} ("hammock"), which is a modification of Spanish {{lang|es|hamaca}}, also the source of the English word. Natively, the word is transparently analysed as a "hang-mat", which aptly describes the object. Similarly: * In {{lang|nl|ansjovis}} ("anchovy"), the second part was modified to resemble {{lang|nl|vis}} ("fish"), although the word originates in Spanish ''anchova''; * In {{lang|nl|scheurbuik}} ("scurvy"), the word parts were modified to resemble {{lang|nl|scheur-}} (stem of {{lang|nl|scheuren}}, tear open) and {{lang|nl|buik}} ("belly, stomach"), although the word originates in Middle Low German {{lang|gml|schorbuck}}; * In {{lang|nl|sprokkelmaand}} (an alternative name for {{lang|nl|februari}}, "February"), the first part was modified to resemble {{lang|nl|sprokkelen}} ("gather wood"), although the word originates in Latin ''spurcalia''; * In {{lang|nl|zijdenhemdje}} (a variety of apple with a very soft, thin, yellow skin), the word parts were modified to resemble {{lang|nl|zijden}} ("silken") and {{lang|nl|hemdje}} ("shirt; small shirt; vest"), although the word actually denotes the place [[Sydenham, Devon|Sydenham]] where the apple originates.{{sfn|van Dale|2015}} * Dutch dictionary ''Van Dale'' describes {{lang|nl|balkenbrij}} as a particularly notable example. * Other examples are {{lang|nl|angstvallig}},{{sfn|Onze Taal - Volksetymologie}} {{lang|nl|dukdalf}}, {{lang|nl|geeuwhonger}},{{sfn|Onze Taal - Volksetymologie}} {{lang|nl|hagedis}}, {{lang|nl|hondsdraf}},{{sfn|Onze Taal - Volksetymologie}} {{lang|nl|penthouse}}, {{lang|nl|rederijker}}, {{lang|nl|rendier}} and {{lang|nl|zondvloed}}.
