JBE, that must be it as Claude also agrees with your definition. Here is an excerpt from Claude as I asked him at the same time I posted here: 'Raad' is Dutch and it means something along the lines of 'counsel, advice'..... Hence the term is used in municipal and political vocabulary: city hall is a Raadhuis (lit. 'counsel house' = German 'Rathaus'). It is truly interesting and I believe that Raad is also a last name in Dutch. One time my family was solicited to purchase a book that discusses the "Raad" family name and most of the people in it were Dutch.

German is a language I would like to learn and it appears it has many similarities with Dutch. Does German also have similarities to other languages as far as you know? I would like to learn languages that make other languages easier to learn, and I have got a pretty good idea about which ones to start with. Hopefully, before I leave this earth, I will know more than 10. That's the plan so far, and it is good to set high goals.

Thanks very much for your assistance.
