note herveus Howdy! <P> That's way cool! <P> One thing that caught my eye was where you said <I>...one person who does Onomastics (placenames)...</I> Did you mean that the person in question specializes in placenames, or did you mean to equate Onomastics with the study of placenames? Every use of the term I've seen simply meant the study of names, in general, so I twitched a bit. One of my hobbies is the study of medieval names and naming practices. I know hypocoristic, locative, patronymic, and many other fancy words. <P> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-73441"> yours,<BR> Michael </div></div> 434158 434158
