Subject: LL-L 'Place Names

Hi, everybody in the LL-L-universe,

in the periphery of a neighboured village we have a street named 'Am
Tilljak', and I'm just and only able to help you with the word 'Am...'- it's
meaning  'At the...'

Up to this very moment no-one is able to help me to find out the roots of
this word, so I have to ask the concentrated intelligence of the Lowlandic
scene for help.

One of my guessings is the French time (AD 1810 P.C.) when in special this
village was a point of cumulation for French/Napoleonic administration, a
'Mairie' like Hamburg at the same time.
A 'Jacques' perhaps giving his name, 'till' he died? Just a joke, of
course!!!

Thanks in advance for all contributions about it!

Allerbest!

Jonny Meibohm
