</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> AFAIK, a &quot;Grube&quot; is a mine ;)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> A good example of what I wrote earlier in this thread
</I>&gt;<i> (&quot;translating the meaning, not the word&quot;).
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> A &quot;Grube&quot; can be a coal mine or any other sort of mine. It also can
</I>&gt;<i> be a small hole in the ground. A very old German children song is
</I>&gt;<i> named &quot;H&#228;schen in der Grube&quot; (&quot;Little bunny in the den&quot;).
</I>&gt;<i> Translating &quot;Grube&quot; with &quot;mine&quot; in this context would be a totally
</I>&gt;<i> different thing :)
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>Would it really?  Rabbits live in warrens, in the English, and warrens
are dug out, exactly like (coal) mines :-D

&gt;<i> dict.leo.org lists 19 english words which all translate to &quot;Grube&quot;
</I>&gt;<i> in German.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> alveola [zool.] cavern cavity coal-mine colliery concave bank
</I>&gt;<i> [geol.] den depression dump   - waste disposal site eroding bank
</I>&gt;<i> [geol.] erosion bank [geol.] exterior bank [geol.] external bank
</I>&gt;<i> [geol.] fosse fovea   - small depression or pit
</I>&gt;<i> [anat.][biol.][zool.] groove [med.] lacuna  - pl. lacunae, lacunas
</I>&gt;<i>  mine [tech.] outer bank   - it has its centre of curvature toward
</I>&gt;<i> the channel [geol.]
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>A German co-worker on KDE UserBase refers me to Leo all the time - a
very useful resource.
