Hi
I'm sorry to participate so few but I'm very busy before holidays.
In the case of the world garden in french west flemish, my father says (I
think) "een hove", but, and it will interest you Denis, my mother only
says "een lofting". In this case, the switch of "f" to "ch" between vowel
and dental consonnant(typical of flemish and Dutch) did not happen in my
dialect. As you, I would be very curious to know the etymology of this word.

Seconded!
& is it true that the Germanic 'pfard, paard, perd' goes back to the
Military Latin 'paraverada'?

Well, this explains the first half of the name of that worthy British 'town'
or could it be 'thorp', 'Leighton Buzzard' now, what about the second half?

Die Uwe, met
Kind greetings,
