I'm sorry to disappoint you, that I know that! I wrote over the Paul Maar version.Wolfgang wrote: I'm sorry to disappoint you, but many names of the day have a different meaning and origin than the ones you gave, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wochentage ... Wochentage, although it's true that German and English have the same roots.
Believe it or not TKKG has been translated into English and several other languages, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TKKG.
I used to like them, but I think the later books, and many audioplays not based on books, are quite weak. But I happen to like the the name of a chemical factory: NOSIOP
I know the correct etymological version, so the wikipedia article is not really interesting for me. You will find the version in the Sams-article (above) ....
Not really cool, in the wikipedi is to read: "TKKG novels had been translated in almost 100 countries ... ", but there is not a quote ... If I use the search engine (words: "STOP Rolf Kalmuczak. etc. ") of the amazon.com I don't find the books ... In this thread the user found france versions: http://www.tkkg-board.de/thread.php?thr ... r=0&page=3, but not really English versions. There are some computer games to find. And now I have used the KVK engine: http://www.ubka.uni-karlsruhe.de/kvk.html and the query "A case for TKKG", "Stefan Wolf" etc. result: nothing in German and English libraries in English (beside the computer games) ... -- and you will find really rare books with this engine, but often without the possibility to order it ... so the entry of the wikipedia seems to be false. I make an entry on the talk page. And change the senctence "TKKG novels had been translated in almost 100 countries" to "TKKG novels had been translated into other languages" -- Sometimes the wikipedia is not really funny ....Wolfgang wrote: Believe it or not TKKG has been translated into English and several other languages, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TKKG.
