Martin, you are very welcome to contribute to the naming effort, for example if you are aware of usable sources for Fijian and Hindi names. Maybe you'll agree that a geographical database with names for villages, even in what you consider to be "English", can be more useful than one without - which is the current situation in many parts of Fiji? Best regards, Jean-Guilhem -- "On ne m’ôtera pas de l’idée que, pendant la dernière guerre mondiale, de nombreux juifs ont eu une attitude carrément hostile à l’égard du régime nazi." Pierre Desproges "I won't be deprived of the idea that, during the last world war, many Jews had a downright hostile attitude toward the Nazi regime."
