WotD: baseball cap

1. das Baseballcap
2. de baseballcap
3. la gorra de béisbol
4. la gorra de beisbol
5. la casquette de baseball
6. y cap pêl-fâs
7. an caipín daorchluiche
8. baseballówka
9. 야구모자 (野球帽子)
10. 棒球帽 bàngqiúmào

Notes: It's hard to credit that daorchluiche is the officially-recommended term for "baseball" in Irish when it looks like the kind of clumsy overliteral translation you would expect from a machine. The first element, daor means "base" in the sense of "lowly" or "servile". Or is this just an unkind commentary on our National Pastime from a bunch of hurley-wielding maniacs?
