One of my favorite local college team names is the Hobart Statesmen. They used to have an annual football game with another nearby college, the name of which escapes me, but whose team name was the Ambassadors

spelt the word I intended to spell
Dunno about any spelling of any words you've used lately, FF. I was just responding to TEd's pathetic attempt at a pun off of your abusions. I remain steadfast in my resolve that assafitidy and vittles are easy to pronounce.

The sports teams of Multnomah Bible College, in Portland, Oregon, USA, are called the Ambassadors.
Multnomah is an American Indian word pronounced mult=NO=muh. Ambassadors is, presumably, pronounced in the usual manner.

Ya know, if you hadn't pointed that out probably everyone woulda noticed!
For the record: you will observe that my pathetic attempts at punning are most often typed in a mixture of casess. Case you didn't notice and case you did.

In reply to: ------------------------------------------------------------ Multnomah is an American Indian word pronounced mult=NO=muh. ----------------------------------------------------------- "But what does it mean?" ~ Bingley asked. I am sure that Father Steve will tell us momentarily, Mister Bingley, but considering the neo-thinking of modern day Oregonians, a more proper question might be... "Yes, but what does it feel."

a mixture of cases
Or like, say, nominative, accusative, dative, instrumental, and like that?

Multnomah is a proper noun referring to the Multnomah Indian tribe. Its origin may be a corruption of a coastal dialect meaning "down river" -- which Portland is.
