NauenThen

In the neighborhood

I tagged it with that frequently used title, because I have barely left my neighborhood this summer (except for a week in South Carolina, which is a different neighborhood of mine) but it isn't inspiring me to an anecdote. My mind is full of a problem in Norwegian: in English, "coat" means both a garment and a covering/varnish. But not so directly in Norwegian. I'm trying to find a word that implies both. It's riveting to try to track down words, in either English or Norwegian. I can appreciate the etymology better in English, of course.
