        Translations "trench"
        • Icelandic: díki
        • Scottish Gaelic: dìg
        • Swedish: dike
      11. Ditch @ Wikipedia
        A ditch is a small to moderate divot created to channel water. A ditch can be used for drainage, to drain water from low-lying areas, alongside roadways or fields, or to channel water from a more distant source for plant irrigation. [...]
        Etymology
        In Anglo-Saxon, the word dïc already existed and was pronounced "deek" in northern England and "deetch" in the south. The origins of the word lie in digging a trench and forming the upcast soil into a bank alongside it. This practice has meant that the name dïc was given to either the excavation or the bank, and evolved to both the words "dike"/"dyke" and "ditch".

        Thus Offa's Dyke is a combined structure and Car Dyke is a trench, though it once had raised banks as well. [...]

      12. Both are confused.
      13. Few cognates
      14. "The generally accepted theory of the earthwork attributes most of its construction to Offa, King of Mercia from 757 to 796."
