Krasse (Dutch) means rüstig in German, and rüstig means bijdehand in Dutch.

Bijdehand (Dutch) means by hand (manual) in English.

So Krasse could mean manual work done by manual workers - eg, farmers if they worked on the farm, or carpenters if they build ships and buildings.

In Malay, "keras" means hard and "kerja keras" means hard work or hardworking. These terms do implying manual hard work.
