Balapuk word of the day: bel

bel


EN: English = mountain
EO: Esperanto = monto
DE: Deutsch = Berg
VO: Volapük = bel
KO: 한국어 = 산 (san)
JA: 日本語 = 山 (yama)
CN: 简体中文版 = 山 (shān)

EN: bel is also the Volapük word for mountain, derived from the German word Berg. Note that the 'r' in Berg is replaced by 'l'. This was done often in the original form of Volapük, not so much in the modern form.

In Balapook 'r' is always replaced by 'l' because I really hate the letter 'r'.
