Leve Leeglanners,
Kann mie een mank Ju vertellen, wat för'n Plant de "Allhorn" is (den
düütschen, ingelschen, nedderlandschen, deenschen or latienschen Naam)?  Ick
heff den Naam al 'n paarmaal höört un lest (un in Hamborg gifft 't 'n Straat
mit'n Naam "Am Allhorn"), avers wat dat för'n Plant is, dat weet ick nich.
Tominnst bün ick mie moden, dat is 'n Plant.  Un wat is 'n "Möörken"?  Ook 'n
Plant, glööv' ick.
Mit Dank un Gröten,
Reinhard/Ron

Dear Lowlanders,
Can any of you tell me what kind of plant has the Low Saxon name _Allhorn_
(its German, English, Dutch, Danish or Latin name)?  I have come across this
name several times (also the street named "Am Allhorn" in Hamborg/Hamburg),
but I have no idea what kind of plant it is.  At least I assume it is a
plant.  And what is a _Möörken_?  Also a plant, I believe.
Thanks and regards,
Reinhard/Ron
