[Gatesedge] Help with Translations

[Young, Carolyn]

My Spanish is a bit rusty, but I think it would be Borde de Reja.  The
masculine/feminine endings I'm sure need adjusting.

And the German might be Der Rand von die Gatter.  Again adjusting the
masculine/feminine endings.

You gave no indications of whether the nouns were masculine, feminine or
neuter.  Unlike English, most of the languages of the world assign gender to
their nouns.

Cheers,
Caitlin

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

Italian-Gate (of castle or town)- Porta
            Edge- orlo
                       bordo

French-Gate-(of building or town)-Porte
            Edge- bord
                      border

>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

                      kust
                      oever
                      wal
                      rand
                      zoom

            Edge (on the other side)-caprazvari
            Edge (reverse side) arka

>From MacBain's Scottish gaelic:

Gate-geta
        geat
        geata
        cliath-na-cadha
Edge-bil
         oir
        faobhar

>From MacFarlane's Scottish/Gaelic:

Gate-chachaille
         geata
Edge-bearradh
        bile
        faobhar
        oir
        rinn

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.

Dear God,  Help me to be the person
