The water caltrop is any of three extant species of the genus Trapa: Trapa natans, Trapa bicornis and the endangered Trapa rossica. It is also known as water chestnut, buffalo nut, bat nut, devil pod, ling nut, lin kok, ling jow, ling kio nut, mustache nut or singhada.

The generic name Trapa is derived from the Latin word for "thistle", calcitrappa, as also is another common name for the water caltrop.
The Chinese name is língjiǎo (菱角), líng meaning "caltrop" and jiǎo meaning "horn". This is often rendered as ling nut by English-speakers.
A tumulus (plural tumuli) is a mound of earth and stones raised over a grave or graves. Tumuli are also known as barrows, burial mounds or kurgans, and may be found throughout much of the world. A cairn, which is a mound of stones built for various purposes, may also originally have been a tumulus.
A dolmen (...) is a type of single-chamber megalithic tomb, usually consisting of two or more vertical megaliths supporting a large flat horizontal capstone or "table". Most date from the early Neolithic (4000–3000 BC) and were sometimes covered with earth or smaller stones to form a tumulus. [...] In many instances, the covering has weathered away, leaving only the stone "skeleton" of the mound intact.
The etymology of the German: Hünenbett, Hünengrab and Dutch: hunebed - with Hüne/hune meaning "giant" - all evoke the image of giants buried (bett/bed/grab = bed/grave) there. [94]
Großmugl is a town in the district of Korneuburg in Lower Austria in Austria.

The Leeberg, Central Europe's largest hill grave, rises from the fields near Großmugl
↑ According to the story, a united human race in the generations following the Great Flood, speaking a single language and migrating eastward, comes to the land of Shinar. There they agree to build a city and a tower tall enough to reach heaven. God, observing their city and tower, confounds their speech so that they can no longer understand each other, and scatters them around the world.
↑ ... Old English māl (“speech, contract, agreement, lawsuit, terms, bargaining”), from Old Norse mál (“agreement, speech, lawsuit”); related to Old English mæðel (“meeting, council”), mæl (“speech”) ...
Probably from Latin mās, marem (“male”), with a shift in meaning; alternatively from an irregular shortened form of maior, maiōrem (“bigger”). Compare Romanian mare, and see there for a more detailed etymology.
Several theories exist. One possibility is Latin maiōrem, masculine and feminine accusative singular of maiōr (“bigger”), irregularly clipped before the [j] → [d͡ʒ] sound change (the regular form would be *măjoare). Compare also Dalmatian maur (“large”). Another proposed etymology is Latin marem, accusative of mās (“male, man”) (however, the reason for the shift in meaning or the exact semantic development is uncertain; it may be because men are generally larger than women, or from a crossing with magnus, or more likely from use in idiomatic expressions (with equivalents found in many languages) such as s-a făcut mare, which can mean "he has grown up/grown older/become a man or adult", and this may have been eventually extended to mean "he/she has grown bigger", with the sense of the word shifting from "man/adult" to "big"). Less likely is the influence from mare (“sea”). Also found in Aromanian as mari (“big, large”).
From Middle English horseleche, horse leche (“horse doctor; bloodsucker, leech”), equivalent to horse + leech. So called because it commonly attacks the membrane that lines the inside of the mouth and nostrils of animals, such as horses, that drink at pools where it lives.
↑ The most common is the red king crab, also called Kamchatka crab or Alaskan king crab, as native to the far northern Pacific Ocean. It can reach a leg span of 1.8 m (5.9 ft).
↑ In https://www.websters1913.com/words/Horse, it reads: "Horse crab (Zoöl.), the Limulus; -- called also horsefoot, horsehoe crab, and king crab." Either king crab or horse crab is so big, hence the name.
↑Hence lit. the homonym "horse chestnut," as it were!
↑ Literally "coarse chestnut," contrasted with 단밤 (dan-bam, literally and actually "sweet chestnut," or simply 밤 (bam, "chestnut"). Meanwhile, French marron confuses "horse chestnut" and "sweet chest nut."
↑ This canonic term is a corruption of the original 말밤 (末栗, "coarse chestnut"), which may be applicable to the horse chestnut as well, though not yet attested. Recall that the prefix horse means not only "big" but also "coarse" respectively relating to Korean homonyms 말(馬, "horse; big") and 말(末, "last; coarse").
↑The prefix "horse" here means "coarse" rather than "large," as is the case with most other botanical compounds. Then, Latin hippo should also mean "coarse" as English "horse" does.
↑ This is implausibly imported, perhaps under the Japanese watering influence; instead, it would be plausible to reuse the native 말밤 which is not used canonically. Also noteworthy is the resemblance of marron to 마름 (mareum) stemming from 말밤.
↑ A mundane Sino-Korean harangue, contrasting to the Japanese as yin-yang, either-or.
↑열매는 밤과 닮았지만, 사포닌과 글루코사이드가 들어있는 등 약한 독성을 띄고 있어서 먹을 수 없다. Inedible, in short.
↑ The [ sweet chestnut ] tree is to be distinguished from the horse chestnut Aesculus hippocastanum, to which it is only distantly related. The horse chestnut bears similar looking seeds (conkers) in a similar seed case, which are not palatable to humans.
↑Why is the qualifier "of India" used? To avoid using "horse"?

↑ Its original name was Malmhaug (with alternate spellings), meaning "Gravel pile" or "Ore Hill".
