Pläne
German edit
Pronunciation edit
Etymology 1 edit
From Middle High German plān, plāne, from Latin planum, in part through Old French plaine. Secondarily analysable as plan (“level”) + -e (noun-forming suffix). The modern umlaut is based on this reanalysis and/or influenced by Modern French plaine.
Noun edit
Pläne f (genitive Pläne, plural Plänen)
- (dated) Synonym of Ebene (“level surface, plain, flatland”)
- 1960, Otto Carius, Tiger im Schlamm, 9th revised edition, Saarbrücken, published 2021, page 86:
- Die Pläne zwischen Bahnkörper und Waldrand war vermint, so daß wir Spur fahren und einer den anderen einweisen mußte.
- The plain between the railroad and the forest edge was mined, so we had to drive in each other’s tracks and direct each other.
