mostly it is references to woods, thicket's, forests.

in Dutch ....horst means a 'birds nest'.

And reflect that the next time we draw Nottingham Forest .....We could be Sel-forest and they could be Nottingham Hurst.

Didn’t the ‘Sel’ originate from a bowl shape in a valley or something?

Old English
Etymology 1
From Proto-Germanic *salą, from Indo-European. Cognate with Old High German sal, German Saal (“hall, large room”), Old Saxon sal, Dutch zaal. Compare sele, from a Germanic variant stem.

Pronunciation
IPA(key): /sel/
Noun
sel n

room, great hall, (large) house, castle
Heorot, sincfāge sel ― Heorot, richly adorned hall.


..............

so Old English....

Sel-hurst...''Castle of the birds-nest''

is a Castle (richly adorned Hall ) almost like a Palace ?

did they have a Crystal Ball, a thousand years ago ?
