_Wapple-way_, or, as on the borders of Surrey and Sussex it is called,
_waffel-way_: and the gate itself, _waffel-gate_. If it should appear, as
in the cases familiar to me, these waffel-ways run along the borders of
shires and divisions of shires, such as _hundreds_, I would suggest that
they were military roads,--the derivation _waffe_ (Ger.), weapon.
