You mean also in airport sense ? Or just in street names ? I knew the
word "laan" (in street names) but I'd never assimilated it with English
"lane".
If a street is named "Petticoat Lane" I'd imagine it be short and
narrow (italian "vicolo"), if it is named "Rembrandtlaan" I'd imagine it
long and wide, maybe lined with trees, (english "avenue" italian
"viale"). Am I drastically wrong ?
