You're sure about French ?
I thought it stemmed from Latin "lacus".
Also, we have OHG and MHG "Lache" for puddle and one lake
is named "Lange Lake" .
For Phil :
I'd listen to Ross. He knows what he's talking about.
Take a deep breath, sit back, relax, have a nice Whiskey.
Read again. Then answer.
For Jacques :
You seemed to have a bad hair day.
While Phil is sometimes over-enthusiastic, he really didn't deserve
that treatment. Could you save that for the trolls and kooks ?
Thank you.
After that (presumably senseless) call for civility I'll leave you to
continue as you see fit.
Cheers,
