May 3, 2021 at 8:54 comment added Carlo Beenakker indeed, "algebraies" and "mathematies" was an uncommon spelling even for that era; the replacement of the ending -isch by -ies was advocated in a proposed phonetic spelling reform, adopted by South Africa in 1905, but never officially adopted in Dutch.
May 3, 2021 at 6:08 comment added Robert Furber If I recall correctly (my Dutch was never very good), the official Dutch for "algebraies" is now "algebraïsch", but I find a lot of Google results for "algebraïes" coming from South Africa, so presumably the old spelling is kept in Afrikaans.

May 2, 2021 at 20:16 comment added Carlo Beenakker they are not interchangeable, the first is German and the second is Dutch; professionally the first term is used more often than the second term (see for example, the Dutch Wikipedia entry) , but if one would speak for audience of non-experts one would certainly use the second term.
May 2, 2021 at 20:10 comment added KConrad In Dutch today, are the terms "Nullstellensatz" and "Nulpuntenstelling" interchangeable, or does the second term sound archaic?
