Awesome
Very cool.
It would be fun to have your retun address include "Footsteps of the Black One."
I wonder how many city names mean "city"? I know a city called Pueblo, which means "town."

I was wondering when you'd stop by my infrequently updated blog -- knew you'd get a kick out of this find...being linguistically minded and all.
Canada means 'village' supposedly -- natives were asked, in French, "What is this place?" and they pointed to their village saying "kanaka" ("Our village is there, you idiots!").
