Hi Joost
As a native English speaker I have never heard the term Hollow Way,
however reading the description it seems that this proposal is
describing what is called a Sunken Lane.
I would avoid cutting as that implies something that has been cut
deliberately for the construction of a motorway, railway or canal etc.
The map https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/tags/historic=hollow_way#map
suggests that it's been used in Germany by people who think it's an
English term.
It's not really used at all in modern English - there are a few
placenames called "Holloway" (the one in Derbyshire might be named after
the top bit of https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/127047259 ) so it
doesn't really make sense to "approve" it as a tag. If people want to
use it locally - fine - and if renderers locally want to use it also
fine (under the "any tags you like" principle).
Best Regards,
Andy
