Dear ones, I have been ill for a few days and it's only now that I saw this interesting conversation. Aulus, I personally would agree with your translation, because of the reason mentioned. I fully agree with that. Next, I think that names of places, if their literal meaning is not really known, should be translated with a short description of the place, BUT: please, let us not TEASE eachother in that respect.

For the question about the language of the entries: I don't have anything against, French, German, Italian, Greek, Dutch, or Spanish, because I can read, speak and understand these languages, but I would ask all of you to stick to English as much as possible, so that the group of partcipants in this can be as large as possible..
