'low' means barrow/mound.
So does 'How' Jon.
My dictionary has "-low" meaning barrow, mound, grave, as JR said - that
is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Then it has "-low" meaning "meadow" if theorigin
is Scandinavian (Old Norse? -- "lagr"). Actually, I'm not sure I'mreading
that correctly. ?jevind? David Salo?Even in modern Swedish, "mound" is called "h?g". "Low" is "l?g", and a derivation of it is a dialect word "l?gd" that means "hollow, depression". Perhaps David can illuminate this further.
