<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in;"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">By the way, German is said to be the only language in which <i>Kauz</i>
(pl. <i>Käuze</i>) are perceived as a specific group of owls, a biologically
diverse group though it is. (<a href="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4uze" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 153);">http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A4uze</span></a>)
However, In Low Saxon, too, they tend to be labeled as a group, depending on
the dialect: <i>Kattuul</i> (“cat owl”), <i>Nachtuul</i> (“night owl”), <i>Dodenvagel</i>
(“bird of the dead,” “bird of death,” because their call is said to portend
death within the vicinity in which it is heard at night).</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">I
don't think so. Two of the three terms even contain the term "owl"
("Uul"), which doesn't really support a clear distinction. And then
the terms are used for a variety of different species of both "Eulen"
and "Käuze". To give an example: <a href="http://www.landschaftsverband-stade.de/dpvogels.htm" target="_blank">This
page</a> says "Nachtuhl" means "Waldohreule". Low Saxon lacks
a scientific biological terminology. It just has vernacular names. Therefore
the extent of the group "Kattulen" or "Nachtulen" or
"Dodenvagels" varies. It's futile to say that this is the same group
as German "Käuze". The Low Saxon terms are just not defined enough to
make a claim like that.<br>
