peer agreement (net): +1Kogg Explanation: "This is from ON kuggr 'Hanseatic ship', a loan from MLG kogge 'broad, rounded ship, mostly used for war'. Either directly or via French, this is a loan from Middle Latin cucurum, of unknown origin, which also gave rise to the English word quiver and through Byzanthine Greek koukouron to the Russian word kokoru 'patron pugh'." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-13 10:26:49 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- CF technical ref with picture \"The cog was a wide spacious type of transport ship that through the Middle Ages gradually replaced the Viking age types in northern Europe. The first mention of a cog is from 948 AD in Muiden near Amsterdam. These early cogs probably used a steering oar (side rudder, quarter rudder). There is no evidence of a stern rudder in northern Europe until about 1240./../ http://www.abc.se/~m10354/mar/cog.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2003-05-13 11:57:57 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.abc.se/~m10354/mar/img/rossija/fig20-5.jpg Reference: http://www.hum.gu.se/arkiv/ONN/1999/II/msg00418.html |
