sonnemoliwe

Found on a house wall in Bamburgh, Northumberland. What an intriguing word. I have no idea what it means - or even what language it is - and a Google search didn't reveal much.

Could it be from Old English sonne? Or is it Dutch?

I've a vague memory that -liwe was the suffix -like in O.E?

I'd love to hear from anyone who knows...
