in reply to Before electricity was invented, what was the Electric Eel called?

In Dutch it is called "sidderaal", which reflects pretty much what is heppening without mentioning how or why it happens. Literally translated: tremble-eal or shake-eal.

    In German: "Zitteraal", same translation, same idea: touch it and it will shake you.

    I'm guessing "sidder" is a cognate of English "shudder".
