I was looking at a box of laser printer toner that describes its content in various languages. The English cartridge reminds me a little of French in that they like to end words with a soft-g-ish sound as in vendage. That is not really much of a similarity but it drew my attention to how the German kassette looks decidedly French once you forgive the initial k. So, I wondered about the French and it turns out to be cartouche which I think of as being foremost a source of stargate addresses.
