Talk:Es ist ein Ros entsprungen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Which direction to merge?

What's the right orthography for the title of the merged page? In today's German I would expect "ein' Ros'" with apostrophes on both words, but I think the only place I've seen it that way is the Oxford Book. The German Wikipedia article has no apostrophe on either word and cites a book with research into the sources, so I lean that way. Not R (talk) 02:17, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm really torn ... actually I lean towards "Es ist ein' Ros' entsprungen" as this is the least ambiguous orthography which at least clarifies that the focus of the song is a sprouting rose and not a runaway horse ("es ist ein Ross entsprungen"), which is the way most kids usually interpret it.

What's really out in my opinion though is "Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen". Maikel (talk) 15:20, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

For that reason I have redirected to here, after having moved information and formatting from Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen. Maikel (talk) 15:51, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

(Just to be clear: I wasn't so sure "ein Ros'" was out, because I think that's actually the way I've seen it most often. In any case, thanks for completing the merge! Not R (talk) 04:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC) )
