Zabrhe

This spelling looks suspicious. The initial entry contained interwiki links to pl:Zabrhe and de:Zabrhe, but these are non-existent (apparently the city's name was spelled Sadbre at some point, and the German name for it is Hindenburg; oh the humanity). Nothing shows up in web searches. Keφr 15:15, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

According to w:History of Polish orthography, what is now spelled "cz" was once also spelled "ch". The use of "rh" instead of "rz" may be another old orthographic feature. —CodeCat 20:11, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

But let's put postulations aside and try to find whether this exists. --WikiTiki89 20:14, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

I mean that since it's probably an old spelling, you'd need to look for old sources. You may not find any in the usual places, but only in more specialised ones. —CodeCat 20:54, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

This is supposedly an English alternative spelling, though. I find it doubtful that a Middle-Ages spelling of a relatively obscure city's name survived in modern English (or, in fact, any language). Keφr 20:57, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
