In England plait is said "plat" - so the Hoosiers are doing well there! I
was surprised when we moved to America to discover midwesterners saying
"plate" - it's logical, but then English pronunciation isn't!!

Hello Ilske
flechten = to braid / to plait hair or anything else that can be
braided/plaited
braiding / plaiting = making braids or plaits
Zopf = a hair braid / plait
So both really the same.

I agree with Clay. I enjoyed reading the book as a mystery. It also had some
