@Mnemosientje Any idea from what Sranan Tongo word the Dutch derives? My guess would be that the etymon is wiwiri as some dictionaries also give the meaning "leaves, herb", which seems a normal origin for a slang term for cannabis. Unfortunately, I hardly know any Sranan Tongo. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 08:06, 27 July 2018 (UTC)Reply

@Lingo Bingo Dingo Hey, I'm on vacation now so I can't really try to look it up. But your guess is probably as good as mine anyway -- I also know very little Sranan Tongo. — Mnemosientje (t · c) 11:08, 28 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
Have a nice holiday. Strangely this is covered very poorly by reference works. ←₰-→ Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 07:15, 30 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
