 * Is it really "From Low German ", and not from Low German or  or Middle Low German ?
 * (Not sure pinging IPs works) Politiken's Nudansk Ordbog also says "from Low German bestant (and adds that bestant is a verbal noun formed from bestân cf. ), but "Low German" (nedertysk) probably means Middle Low German. I've never seen Low German nouns being capitalized in etymologies.__Gamren (talk) 00:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
 * Den Danske Ordbog distinguishes between middelnedertysk and nedertysk, and gives the latter as the origin of bestand. Compare boghvede.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 15:07, 26 October 2020 (UTC)

 * - the etymology for mentions this as an older form, not sure if this means an older form in Modern Danish or a word in Old Danish? It's blue because it has the plural of blomst, but missing this older form.

M

 * - apparently some kind of wood
 * I think this is a variant of, Acer campestre. Compare , . Vox Sciurorum (talk) 22:13, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
 * ODS says that it is especially used for Acer campestre, but defines maser more generally as a tree with "maser formations". The second definition is "a bulbous hypertrophic formation, that occurs on the trunk or branches of certain trees (especially various species of maple), whose wood, due to its characteristic structure, is used for fine works of carpentry". There's probably some English word for this.__Gamren (talk) 21:25, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
 * The formations are burls (or a burl is one such formation). I don't know offhand if there is a word for a tree with burls.  Vox Sciurorum (talk) 21:43, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
