Hi,

Traveler - Thanks for the compliment. No, "Mysha" would probably do, should that ever come to pass.

Leeneia - You too: Thanks for the compliment, in your case of quoting my translation, rather than the German original lyrics. My line translates what was given in this thread, but on the Internet in general as well the word is commonly quoted as "Dünen" (Dunes), and only rarely as "Dänen" (Danes). The location "on the strand" - "on the beach" if you prefer - matches the German "am Strand". It does not mean "along the beach", so the dunes are migrating locally, rather than starting in Greenland and ending in Flanders. (And note there's a qualification behind it about its preciseness.)

The sport that Just doesn't quite recall is called "Bosseln", which is similar to Road Bowling. I don't think I've ever seen it played along a dike. I would expect, if played there the bright coloured balls would be at rather large risk of deviating regularly from the intended course. I'm willing to learn, however.

Bye,
