En lufthavn translates to 'airport' in English. The word 'lufthavn' is compound in nature with 'luft' meaning 'air' in Danish and 'havn' meaning 'port' or 'harbor'. The term effectively describes a harbor or port for air vehicles, akin to how ships dock at sea ports.

En kirke is the Danish word for 'church'. Its origins can be traced back to Old Norse 'kirkja', which in turn is borrowed from Old English 'cirice' or 'cyrice'. The Old English term likely has its roots in the Greek 'κυριακόν' (kyriakón), denoting 'Lord's house', from 'κύριος' (kýrios) which means 'lord'. This reflects the church's purpose as a place dedicated to the worship of the Lord or God in Christian traditions.
