[Lowlands-L List]

Subject: Mills

Dear Lowlanders,

Hanne started the thread of mills and mentioned several types.

Below please find a list. As you can see, German differentiates more than
other languages. But this may be because of deficiencies in the Wikipedia
entries. Please let me know if you can help improve and extend the list.


Regards,
