Talk:Danevirke

message: The modern Danish spelling notwithstanding, I have amended the (formerly inconsistent) usage of Dannevirke/Danevirke in the article to Danevirke throughout as the latter would appear to be the more frequently used spelling in English-language sources. -- Picapica 21:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Da(n)nevirke 

message: Though Danish "ko" means "cow", I suspect that cow-works could be a bowdlerizing. My reasons:
* The German name keeps "Ko-" unchanged. "Cow" is "Kuh" in German and "Kau" (pronounced like "cow") in Low German.
* In Bremen, where I'm living, there is a draining and former shipping canal named "Kuhgraben", and it is established knowledge, that this name is not derived from "Kuh"/"Kau" but from "Gau", an ancient word for "district", as the canal devided Blockland region from Hollerland region.
I hope that a Danish wikipedian will read this and verify or falsify it.--Ulamm (talk) 22:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: C.F. Allen rendered it as "Kurvirke" or "Kurgraven" and describes the name as derived from "kure", an old verb meaning "to guard". (C.F. Allen, Om Sprog og Folke-Eiendommelighed i Hertugdømmet Slesvig eller Sønderjylland, Copenhagen: C.A. Reitzel, 1850, p. 11) Ordbog over det Danske Sprog indeed contains such a verb, and mentions that it can also mean "to scout". "Gau" cannot be the origin as it is a German word without a Danish parallel.

thread_title:  Meaning of Kovirke/Kograben 

message: I propose the name used be Danavirki. Firstly it's the original spelling. Secondly its spelling is closer to the modern English pronunciation than the Danish spelling. Thirdly the spelling usage is about 50/50 Danevirke/Danavirki in modern English, with academic writing generally favouring Danavirki. For these reasons i think the ON should be used. Any thoughts?DDH89 (talk) 23:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: *How many Danevirke's and similar are there? National Register of Historic Places listings in Nebraska#Howard County says that in Howard County, Nebraska, USA is a Dannevirke Danish Lutheran Church and Community Hall and a road called Dannervirke Rd, but not whether there is a village or town there called Dan(n)evirke/similar. (There is a village called Dannebrog, Nebraska.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, as I mentioned in the renaming request above, a thousand or so of the 300,000 Google hits for Dannevirke were connected to Nebraska, though I didn't find much evidence of it actually existing as a village/township/settlement (either with one or two Ns). There is also a church  in Canada which seems to have that name, but again, no evidence of a village/town/settlement. Grutness...wha? 02:46, 14 June 2009 (UTC)
