Name

The name Podlonk is a fused prepositional phrase that has lost case inflection: pod 'below' + Lonk, referring to Lonk Hill (elevation 786 meters or 2,579 feet) immediately east of the village. The settlement was known as Podlong in German.[2]

gollark: You would give money to the script's address, and it would verifiably split it between two people.
gollark: I have to admit that this *would* be an interesting way to do multi-person-owned shops.
gollark: People have shops and those have brand names and such, but those aren't companies; mostly profit just goes right to the owner and investment is done by loans negotiated between individuals.
gollark: In my opinion, the main reason for that is that companies don't exactly exist here.
gollark: No stock exchange ever actually *happened*, and a centralized one would be easier to do than this.
