EMAKOE

Non-PRO Danish to English Law/Patents Law (general)
I'm trying to understand the meaning of EMAKOE in the section "sagsbehandler" of the divorce decree. It certainly doesn't look like a name. Do you have any ideas?
Thank you!

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Christine Andersen

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Welcome to Kudoz!
I have read a fair amount of Danish law over the years, and have never seen anything like it. Googling does not help either.

It does ask, however, if I mean EMAIL, which is how that is often written in Danish.
(or email - many Danes avoid CAPS when they can.)

That is not entirely implausible, though I have to admit it is not a common typo.
On a Danish keyboard the K and O are both close to the I, and the extra letter, Æ, is at the right, next to the L.
If you convert Æ to E (which is in the usual QWERTY position), you might end up with EMAKOE.

I have no idea whether this is what really happened, but if it fits in your context, it just might be the answer.

Otherwise, please add some more context, or at least an anonymised sentence, in the discussion section, because it is very difficult to help you with what you have given.
