Replies to my query...

...of 25 September 2007 - European Day of Languages

Ben:
Lekker ne estas germandevena sed tutnederlanda! Nur hazarde en ambaŭ lingvoj oni uzas la tutsaman vorton. Do jen, vi jam havas vian peton. Amike

Paul:
Well, nearly all Dutch words originated in German, because it was one language in the beginning.
Anyway, here are some words with double consonants:

wakker, tikker, aller, akker, bitter, bakker, dotter, dikker, dunner, ebben, gunnen, gillen, akken, latten, letten, minnen, motten, metten, mokken, netten, pissen, potten, pannen, pukkels, punnen, pakken, pakket, kennen, kunnen, kannen , luttel.....

and many more, just have a look in a Dutch dictionary.
