Name
The original name Elsapha is descended from the Old High German word Els for alder and the Indogermanic word Ap what meant water. As an explanation "watercourse surrounded by alders" arises from it. The river gave the municipality Elsenfeld the name. The river Aschaff flowing nearby (from Ascapha meaning "ash water") has also the same name origin.

gollark: ???
gollark: One way would be to just *randomly* consume your krist with some low probability instead of using it on whatever, but that would be unpopular and also these will be deterministic.
gollark: Although without fractional krist you probably can't pass it onto users very well.
gollark: They can just pass it onto users and document this.
