== Etymology == Unlike the meaning in modern German, [[Ingvaeonic languages|Ingvaeonic]] ''*kāg'', [[Old Dutch]] ''*kōg'', modern [[Dutch language|Dutch]] ''koog'' and [[West Frisian Dutch]] ''kaag'' all designate "land outside the dike". In the Netherlands, it primarily survives in place names (e.g. [[De Koog]], [[Koog aan de Zaan]], [[Kaag]]).<ref>[http://www.etymologiebank.nl/trefwoord/koog Koog] at etymologiebank.nl</ref> From the [[Dithmarschen]] word ''koch'' (15th and 16th centuries), it went into [[Danish language|Danish]] as ''kog''. In [[North Frisian language|North Frisian]] it is ''kuch''. The spelling ''koog'' was used by the poet Michael Richey in 1755 and around 1700, what is now the port of [[Cuxhaven]] was still called ''Koogshaven''.<ref>[[Friedrich Kluge]]: ''Etymologisches Wörterbuch''.
