- For what it's worth, a place called Applegarth really exists in North
- Yorkshire. The first element appears in a form of ca. 1160 as Appel,
- although the second doesn't change from -gard to -garth until 1228.
- See Ekwall, p. 11, under Applegarth.
- Sorry for not combining this with the earlier post on the meaning of
- the word garth. I don't have my own terminal, so I had to logoff before
- going out to Reference for Ekwall.
