Dear Friends,
As many of you know, Gate's Edge is working to be named a shire instead of a
canton. There is a movement among the populace that we rename the canton to
something else in light of our new (hopefully impending)status. I said I
would try to see if I could find a translation for Gate's Edge into another
language so that the name is changed but the history is still there. We
may, of course, end up getting something completely different but I,
personally, would like to see something of our history remain in place.
I have researched a number of on-line translation dictionaries and while I
can find the words, I can't put them together correctly. Can anyone help
with the following?
>From wordreference.com:
Spanish: Gate-(0f castle) reja
edge-borde
German: Gate-Tor
5 barred Gate-Gatter
Edge- Rand (outer limit)
To put a border on- betsetzen or einfassen

Edge- bord

>From Travilog.com:
Finnish-Gate-ovi
Edge-ranta
reuna
Norwegian-Gate-dor (the "o" has a line thru it-I think that means
something but I'm not sure what)
Edge (other side)-tvers
Dutch-Gate-draaihek
poort
deur
Edge-boord
kant
kust
oever

I'm sorry this is so long but I wanted to see and hear how the translation
sounded in a lot of different languages. If anybody knows how to put Gate's
Edge into Latin (Alden are you reading this?) feel free to add that in.
Thanks for reading and contributing when you do.
