I need help with a street name. In Leavenworth, WA there is a street named
"Edelweiss Weg" that I want to add. Is Weg an abbreviation for something?
It will be tagged highway=service service=alley. Google translate doesn't
help.
If it is an abbreviation, should it be expanded as we usually do?

"Weg" is German, approximately means "way." It's right as it is, no
abbreviation.
Funny though that it's outside of the German Sprachraum. Is Leavenworth a
town with a lot of German heritage?

Thanks everyone for responding. Thankfully it wasn't abbreviated. I'll

Leavenworth is a former logging town that has been turned into a mock Bavarian

I've been to Leavenworth a number
"Weg" is the German equivalent of "Way". Someone evidently decided to use the
German term, since the street was named after a German flower. The edelweiss

German name for the flower.

I'd been thinking for a long time that the OSM wiki needed a table with
some common street name abbreviations (if it exists, I can't find it).
When I started surveying I kept on finding weird abbreviations that took
some searching to figure out (all the other online maps are also
