Subject:  Words for the apple

The apple is the most widely cultivated fruit, with a world-wide
distribution across the northern and southern temperate zones. Apples
were eaten by the earliest Europeans; varieties were recognised more
than 2000 years ago.

Given this, it is of interest to explore the range of names for this
common fruit. The list at http://www.percepp.demon.co.uk/apple.htm
contains words from 46 languages.

Corrections particularly and any additions are invited.
