Only if they are listed in the Duden, sadly ;)

I was going to post this in OT but I don't know if you subscribe to it.
You might find this interesting as Afghanistan is included in the 
Sentinels map Earth's slow surface warping.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-38323832

The link to the data is here.

Interesting project - but currently I'm more interested in absolute 
altimetry data, such as provided by the ASTER and TANDEM missions! As at 
least the original ASTER data have too low resolution to produce 
realistic landscapes at close range from a "pedestrian" perspective, I 
started using the topographic map tiles of OpenTopoMap 
(http://www.opentopomap.org) - which themselves are just an 
interpolation of ASTER data, but at least they also contain rivers, 
roads and buildings as well as (rudimentary, but slowly improving) 
information on soil cover derived from Google Maps aerial imagery.
With TANDEM, the resolution probably could improve, but currently the 
data set is not (at least according to my knowledge) fully accessible by 
the public.

However, of course I will have to develop my own contour line 
interpolation software...

See you in Khyberspace!

It was just in case you ever go back to it again (and again). :)

I thought that you had done that some time ago.
No it was Tim Cook in 2012. I am getting old and my memory is failing.
If you look at the link. Sam Benge posted a macro to draw contours.

Interestingly, Wilbur (mentioned in my latest images) can do that too.

No, that's not what I'm aiming at - I need a program which fills in the 
gaps between the existing contour lines of a topographic map with 16-bit 
heightfield colour values!

See you in Khyberspace!

Have you ever heard of the Arbeitsförderungsgesetzeshüteraus- und 
Nachbildungsinstitutsstellenanwärter?

O.k., it's self-coined... but guess the acronym! ((:->>
