Posted: 03/11/2010 12:45:20 Reply | Quote Wandering off topic but its quite (or at least fairly) interesting to note that the Belgians appear to use the same term for a mine as the old northern English word grove or groove. -- Rich IP: 80.254.146.20 |

Posted: 03/11/2010 13:47:01 Reply | Quote Flemish is a Germanic language and so related to English, Dutch, German, and Friesian so it's not surprising they use groeve as the word for a mine or excavation. A proto-germanic word for digging will have given rise to the modern english grave, groove, grub (as in to grub out something) and grove in the old sense of a mine, likewise the german verb gruben and this flemish word. Linguistic history lesson over..... -- I sold my soul to Satan, but he brought it back and demanded a refund.... IP: 194.159.145.70 |
