Re: Cologne, Germany

8 May 2006 09:58:42 -0700: gunananda@xxxxxxxx: in sci.lang:

so , the fact that the locals call it "Kölle" does not prove an
assimilation process

does this "ln" -> "ll" occur in this dialect more often or is "Kölle"
just an exception

Perhaps the fact that the name is Keulen in Dutch (sprich Kölen) and
that there final -n tends to get lost, has something to do with it?
Köln ==> Köllen ==> Kölle?
