Greetings to our international correspondents,

I request your assistance in translating a single word.  At Mystic Seaport
we are building a ship, an 80 foot recreation of the Cuban (Spanish
Flagged) Schooner _Amistad_ (circa 1840).

The word Amistad means Friendship in English.  I'm looking for the
equivalent word in as many languages as I can get.  Here's what I've got so
far, if you can add to the list please contact me at the address listed in
the signature file below rather than through a reply to the list.  (Once
I've got all the "Friendship" I can find I'll send the whole thing to
Museum-list again.)


Amistad - Spanish

Friendship - English

Freundschaft - German

Amitié - French

Venskab - Danish

Amicizia - Italian


For more information about the project check the web page address for
Mystic Seaport in the sig. file.

Thanks (danke, merci, gracias ...)

Edward
