Greet

Except that the g is not like in English, it's Dutch so you pronounce it like /x/, like you hear in Hebrew or Yiddish, e.g. "chassid"

It's the same as the "ch" which it's in Scheveningen :)
And it depends on the accent too. There's the "hard" G and the "soft" G.

I'm pretty sure it's 'greet'. Griet is a nickname, short for Margriet. It's mentioned in the bookk.

It's neither, actually. It's Dutch and there is no proper way to spell it with English letters, phonetically, so it makes it difficult.
