Editing Majorstuen (section)

==The name==
The neighborhood was named after a well-known public house that was located on the east side of Sørkedalsveien. Dating from the 1700s, the house was named for [[Captain (armed forces)|Captain]] Michael Wilhelm von Sundt (1679–1753). The last element is the finite form of ''[[stue]]'' 'cabin, house with a single room'. There has long been a disagreement about the forms ''Majorstuen'' and ''Majorstua'': ''stuen'' is the articulated form when ''stue'' is treated as a masculine, and ''stua'' is the articulated form when it is treated as a feminine noun. The original pronunciation was ''-stua'' (Norwegian feminine inflection)<ref>{{Cite web |title=Majorstua |url=http://www.edd.uio.no/perl/search/objectviewer.cgi?tabid=1383&primarykey=8625 |access-date=2023-02-16 |website=www.edd.uio.no}}</ref> but, because Danish was the only written language in Norway well into the 19th century, the name was written ''-stuen'' (Danish common gender inflection). The locals say either, but the local borough council has also adopted ''Majorstuen'' as the official name of the area. (For a similar disagreement, see [[Akerselva]].)
