(Fritz88: Is Atzcapotzalco a local place-name, Jame?) Yes, it is. An Aztec city, in Mexico.


Another regional name: Snowdonia, which is the region in Wales that Edward Longshanks built a lot of forts in.

Figure robject to come up with a great list of Serbo-Croatian words. [img]graemlins/file_28.gif[/img]
Edit: Oh, robject, are those placed according to the star chart? IOW, did you pick those words based on density/location/shapes? end edit

Thanks, Jame. Hmmm, should a small bit be Arthurian/Celtic style names? Maybe the X's in the corner of D4/D5/E4/E5? Maybe the Arthurian names in the X's and some Celtic names in the Y's just coreward? May be a cliche, but that's not always a bad thing. [img]smile.gif[/img]

NOT Mississippi, but MISSIPPI (I mis-spelled it deliberately).

Weeeellllll, you should have SAID that!

How's Fremantle, or Fremickeymantle?

[Fritz_Brown]

Plank, that's perfect. Why don't we make that a system (maybe a capital) somewhere.

Jame, I would have to know the story on that one - 'cause you know someone would ask.

[Fritz_Brown]

One more refinement: How about one bit (I'm thinking the "K"s in B2/B3) is Sumerian/Babylonian/Assyrian? Any archeaologists out there?

And, let's not use "Gozer".... [img]graemlins/file_28.gif[/img]
Edit: Added the Sumerians/Assyrians/Babylonians to the grid in the coreward/spinward corner. end edit

You mean about Fremickeymantle? No story. I bought a book with a girl named Freemark, thought up Fremantle, changed to Fremickeymantle and thought it was funny.

[Fritz_Brown]

OK, because someone will ask why Mickey Mantle needs to be freed. OK, only old folks will ask that, but I'm old. I will find a place to use that name - probably a system name, one where they play this bizarre game involving sticks and balls.... [img]graemlins/file_22.gif[/img]

How about "Kinunir"?

Many of the Imperial world and outpost names from the "Imperium" game are from Sumerian sources.
