From: Sylvain Lavoie <elisabeth-sylvain at sympatico.ca>
Subject: Traduttore, traditore

Thanks to Reinhard and Mathieu.  "Wolfsbeek,
Nedder-Sankt-Lorenz-Stroom" and
Woufsreveer" are recorded.

I also wish to recall John M. Tait words. He typed ...

"Perhaps the phrase 'Watter o Oof' doesn't sound Scots, not only because
of the word _oof_ (after all, obsolete words might occur in place
names), but because its construction doesn't look like a natural Scots
placename. It looks, in fact, like a word-for-word translation of the
original"

...   that recalls me the italian aphorism "Traduttore, traditore".
