Due to an abundance of watching Hogan's Heroes, I tried "mark" for Germany's currency, but I somehow didn't get the correct answer.

It's called dijk in the Netherlands.

Yes, the way the question is formulated, dijk should clearly be accepted.

While I agree with you, dijk is not a four letter Dutch word; in Dutch, 'ij' counts as a single letter. Don't ask me why though

Wow. Because Euro ends with an O and Oslo starts with and O, I got it in my head that this was a word chain quiz, and that made getting the next answer take way longer than it needed to.

"Gaul" is not the Roman name. It is a post-Roman word of a different origin that came to be used in the same sense as the Roman name.

Gaul is the english translation or the roman name, Gallia

Yes, but it specifically says "Roman name". Gallia ought to be accepted. I ruled out "Gaul" because it isn't the Roman name.

Rather more so than the Netherlands question, but I went for Dijk first on that one too as it looked to be leading me to that

"Jura" is also a range in which Switzerland is located.

You should accept 'dijk' as well - that's what we call it here in the Netherlands. Otherwise change the question to 'What is the English translation of the Dutch word for levee?'

Isn't it also called a dyke in English?

It isn't called dyke in Dutch though. It is Dijk as others mentioned before

As someone who lives by Dyckman Street in what used to be New Amsterdam, I fully support dyke and dijk and even dyck! Maybe not duck though.

I will never get over the Europeans deciding that the Sami are indigenous to the continent but no one else is. If a skeleton from the stone age can be traced to a likely descendent living a few miles away, you're probably indigenous.

I'm not sure I've ever heard a European calling them indigenous, only the Americans.

Your presumption is incorrect. Per his profile, Aaron197 is located in Sweden, and his map indicates he's never even been to North America.

Can 'Lapp' be accepted as an alternative for Sami?

The Sámi consider that term offensive.
