It did help clear the clouds in my mind as this is a proper noun that remains underlined. Make sense! Sorry for my mis-spelling of the word, it should be Schweizer. Thanks again for all of your help! | |

The (very probably hypothetical) "Schwarzer Franken" could be named after the color, making "schwarz" an adjective. It could be named after a person named "Schwarz" or "Schwarzer" or similar, or after a place named "Schwarz". The latter two would make "Schwarz", "Schwarzer" or similar a noun. But my money (pun intended) would still be on a mishearing of "Schweizer Franken". | |

| Jul 21, 2023 at 5:33 | comment | added | bakunin | This would imply that there is a place named "Schwarz", from where the the "Schwarzer Franken" originates, no? | |
