Neuwerk! Newark!

[Selwyn Greenfrith]

Does anyone know the etymology of 'Neuwerk' which is both the name of a neighborhood of Monksgladbrook and the name of a small North Sea iland?

'Newark' in England means: 'new work' 'new fortification' (akinlike to the words: earthenwork/earthworks) which was built to thwart bygone Danish humanitarian intervention in England.

Why is the Dutch word for fortification: 'vestingwerk' - what is the unlikeness between 'vestingwerk' and 'bulwark'?

Nowt words bearing: werk/wark came up whilst Google translating the Deutsch word(s) for fortification - what is the Flatdutchlander word for fortification?

Befittingly sandcastles (as in fortifications made of sand) have come to be under the craft of 'sandwork'. Indeed, reckon the strong doingword, strong past tense (or whatever it's called) of work was once: wark - therefore sandcastles should truthfully be hight: sandwarks - as this word both truthfully sets out how it came about through an action whilst at the same time keeping it's inbuilt fortification meaning.

sandwork...



sandwark...



overworked sandwark...
