Boy boy or girl girl.....
I have just only one word in my English - German dictionary for this
strange Undrea/Andrea
Maybe you have better luck if you find a synonim for Stricknadel
German: Stricknadel
Rumanian Andrea/Undrea
English knitting-needle, conform my dictionary.

I hope you get it, if not from a english -german dictionary from a
english-rumanian one......
If you have no luck and still in trouble with the meaning of the word, tell
me..and I will describe it to you. even with a picture if you will like
it... I know the meaning from a nice story.. ( not sure if in conection with
grand mother of Little Red Riding Hood , but i will check:))))
