etymology
The existing evidence goes back partly to Old High German tanna , partly to Middle High German tan "Wald, Tannenwald" and Middle High German tanne "Tanne, Fichte, Kiefer", which is probably itself an affiliation to tan . In modern times, Tann was forgotten as an independent education. The various old names were all attached to the meaning field of fir . The existing rows of documents therefore alternate between the two words. In the plural fir , the two names cannot be separated from each other. In the southern Hessian dialect, fir is used as a name for various softwoods. As a rule, it is not possible to determine which tree is meant in detail, even with the secure fir coverings.
