Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 12/05/99 17:16:02 , Lars a =E9crit :
<< "Hottentotteltudstilling." What's the etymology of "tentoonstelling,"
BTW? I'd have expected something shorter, like "ausstellung" in German
or "udstilling" in Danish. >>
Maybe it comes from "ten toon stellen" ;-) =3D "to put to the showing" (tone=
n =3D=20
to show + stellen =3D to put + ten =3D the) ?
