<DIV>Modulo the issue of what's being translated as against reported, the
other towns have naming conventions which look like they come from Urth.</DIV>
<DIV>(Including white-bread Anglo names, in the case of two of the mercenaries
in SS.)</DIV>
<DIV>Are we to assume that Urth had a region with the Vironese conventions? Is
there anywhere like that in the real world?

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>There are other regions with unique conventions,
though - for example the Fliers have Gaelic names - and several clearly
relate to function: Sciathan (a wing), Aer (air), Iolar (an eagle). Maybe
more, I don't recall others offhand.</FONT></DIV>
