[–] lath@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago (1 child) Volk - folk. Is there a Volklore - folklore somewhere in there as well? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 2 points 9 months ago I'm assuming it's the same root, yes. "Folklore" in German means the same thing, although we pronounce it differently. Don't ask me why we don't spell it "Volklore" - if I had to guess, I'd say the term is older than the spelling "Volk", not least because "Lore" on its own doesn't exist (anymore) in German. permalink fedilink source parent
