Dun ... /English/? I think not; Scots/Irish, yes, where it was a hill /fort/. Dunedin in NZ is named thus (in homage to Edinburgh) and it's a reference to the early name anglicised as "Dun Edin", the name of the hill fort that was once here, in the times of the Gododdin. Calling it "English" could start a fight here. -- Jeremy Nicoll - my opinions are my own. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
