>>how often do you get to use that word<<
And thanks for it. It's a very good word.

As to of troy's original question, I can't think of one. But it does occur to me that, in the case of the 'near East,' it's the toponym and not the topo that has been lost -- as in Atlantis or, if that doesn't suit you, Krakatoa or New Orleans.
