Ideas and Concepts:
Local etymological unclarity learned via this morning's History of the Bible class: "It is unclear if the inner city district of Berlin called "Moabit" was named by the French Huguenots who settled in Berlin under Frederick William I and named the area after the Biblical reference to the Moabites who lived in the Kingdom of Moab where the Israelites stayed before being allowed to enter Canaan, or if the name comes from the word "Moorjebiet" meaning "swamp area" in Berlin dialect."
