Name
The name Dorfarje was first attested in 1291 as in Dorfern. It is derived from Middle High German Dorfern, originally a plural form of the common noun dorfære 'villager' (< dorf 'village'). The name therefore literally means 'villagers' and refers to early German colonization of the Sora Plain.[3] In the past the German name was Dörfern.[2]

gollark: No, it does, it uses CraftOS APIs and programs.
gollark: PotatOS's scheduler already does that.
gollark: Oh, a TLCO.
gollark: TLOC?
