So, I pretty much thought it was Donner, but I just left what the previous person (Katey) had put on her answer!
ReplyDeleteActually, it IS Donder! :)
ReplyDelete"In An American Anthology, 1787–1900, Edmund Clarence Stedman reprints the 1844 Clement Clarke Moore version of the poem, including the German spelling of "Donder and Blitzen," rather than the original 1823 version using the Dutch spelling, "Dunder and Blixem." [3] Both phrases translate as "Thunder and Lightning" in English, though German for thunder is now spelled Donner"
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone is right!
