Note: Cases or shelflike surfaces, usually of a height convenient for a person standing before them, as in a kitchen or store, or sitting on stools in front of them, as in a restaurant or bar. For small tables or chests with the top marked for counting money, sometimes with a cupboard below, use the more specific "counter tables." |

Dutch ..... Benaming die oorspronkelijk werd gebruikt voor kleine tafels en kisten met een bovenkant die is bedoeld om geld te tellen, soms met een kastje eronder. De benaming werd later gebruikt voor kasten of plankachtige oppervlakken die meestal op een zodanige hoogte zitten dat de persoon die ervoor staat, zoals in een keuken of winkel, of op een kruk ervoor zit, zoals in een restaurant of bar, er gemakkelijk bij kan. |
German ..... Kasten- oder regalähnliche Fläche, in der Regel von einer Höhe, die geeignet ist für eine Person, die davor steht, wie in einer Küche oder einem Laden, oder davor sitzend auf Hockern wie in einem Restaurant oder einer Bar. Für einen kleinen Tisch oder eine Truhe, deren Oberfläche zum Zählen von Geld markiert ist, manchmal mit einem Schrank darunter, benutze "Rechentisch". |
Spanish ..... Originalmente mesas pequeñas o arcones con la parte superior marcada para contar dinero, algunas veces con un aparador debajo. Término más tarde aplicado a cajas o superficies semejantes a estantes normalmente de una altura adecuada para que una persona se pare delante de ellos, como en una cocina o tienda, o se siente en taburetes frente a ellos, como en un restaurante o un bar. |
