OK, so where does -polis meaning city come from? is it greek? (neopolis=naples=new city) supposedly started by greeks after the trojian war--) but hoi poli--the common people would hint that poli /polis are related --and perhaps related to population?
i'll go look it up after i have read all the other posts..
