"Knecht" is Dutch (and maybe also German), and is the male form of
"maid" as in "kitchenmaid" - a domestic or farm labourer. In Dutch
the
word is these days used only to denote the 'assistants', as opposed
to the 'leader' in a cycling team.

Apart from how Frank's name got mangled up,
there are some other
gems: 'the case of hammer' (Hammerfall),
I liked that one. It sounds like a story by E.A. Poe or Conan Doyle.
But I wonder, what german word "necht" should be. I never heard that
word in Germany...
