Dear Helen,
You wrote: wasn't Ceylon the name of the island just before it was sri lanka? .
Yep. I do know that. I don't understand the tilt of the earth and how the days are the same all over the world--and most of this discussion, but I do know that Ceylon was the name of the island prior to its becoming recognized as Sri Lanka by the world and the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in particular, since I've had a pretty hefty correspondece with that board during one part of my life.
Now who's going to break down the historical etymology of equus for Jackie--and let us all know how the word equus came to be? In other words, where is tsuwm on his might charger known as Mr. Ed? or Mr. Oed?
Best regards,
