German
editPronunciation
edit- IPA(key): /lɔk/
- Homophones: lock, Lok
Etymology 1
edit18th century, borrowed from English log.
Noun
editLog n (strong, genitive Logs, plural (all rare) Loge or Logge or Loggen)
- (nautical, historical) log (device for measuring a ship's speed)
Usage notes
edit- The plural should be spelt Loge according to Duden (based on the principle that final consonants are not normally doubled in German inflections), but the spelling Logge appears at least equally justified (by analogy with the related terms with gg and in order to avoid confusion with Loge (“lodge, box”)). Neither of these seems common, however. If the plural must needs be expressed, the most sensible may be to use Loggen (principally plural of the variant Logge f).
