OP ...in the latest AWADMail:
It was Milton, I believe, who coined a kind of antonym to "pantheon,"
namely "pandemonium" http://wordsmith.org/words/pandemonium.html
the capital for denizens of the underworld and by extension, I suppose,
it has come to mean the type of environment one might expect of such a
place. Not that we say "pantheon broke out" or the like. :-)
and:
In Ireland the Palatine community are descendants of people who
historically came from the Rhineland-Pfals region of Germany in 1709 to
settle in County Limerick. Many Palatine surnames survive in the local
community, such as Orr, Bovenizer, Muller, Teskey, etc.
