I know this is completely off topic, but I live on the West Coast of
North America and blackberries (the local name) grow wild as do salmon
berries (orange colour fruit) in the interior. I just thought I would
mention this for interest, since I don't remember blackberries in
Europe. I know there are cloud berries in the North.

Anyway this is just a slight diversion from the linguistic battles.
Apologies for the OT post.
