Dutch. There is already a lower-case form graaf; upper-case is either reserved for titles or is characteristic of use centuries ago, not of current use. (On a different note, parts of the etymology seem dubious, as the ONW has a lemma for grāvo.) Lingo Bingo Dingo (talk) 13:09, 1 February 2017 (UTC)
- Note that we also have earl / Earl, so I'm not sure what to think. Your point about the ety does stand though, it needs cleanup to account for the Old Dutch term. — Kleio (t · c) 17:51, 4 February 2017 (UTC)
- RFD kept. No consensus to delete, and having such a capitalised variant follows established practice, as KIeio pointed out. —Μετάknowledgediscuss/deeds 17:46, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
