Nordic.  Or maybe Herr Bork Bork (German).  Since Great Danes were/are German Boar Hounds, until a throw-away "From" line on a shipping manifest when they were shipped for an exhibit at the N.Y. World's Fair in the 1800's made them forever "Great Danes" in the U.S.   And since there are more Great Danes alive in the U.S. right now than have ever lived in Germany, the registry name in the U.S. still holds.

Bork Bork? German? No. Dog noises in German would be "wau wau" ( btw this the onomatopoeotic name most kids give dogs in German) , "wuff wuff" or "kläff kläff". We only have one commonly used word with "Bork", and that´s "die Borke", what basically is German for the outer part of a tree, the "tree skin".

The genuine translation of "to bark " in German is " bellen". "Der Hund bellt" = "the dog barks"...and it gets really funny if you´re Dutch, because in Dutch, "bellen" means "to call somebody via phone".

Ah!  The skin of the tree is "bark".  And "bark" is the sound a dog makes.  Google Translate is spot-on as usual!    [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/sleep.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title="-_-" width="20" />

spent a year in Germany (near Ghemershiem) and came away with "Hund", "Danke" and "Ein Pils Bitte" . BTW, I say "Woof" to the dogs here.

Germersheim? Only a couple of minutes of driving away from my birth town.

What ?!?   You doubt Google, who knows what color socks you wear each day of the week, and can recognize your face from space?  Surely you jest!   [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/ohmy.png[/img]/emoticons/[email protected] 2x" title=":o" width="20" />
