Faldage and our friend weren't sure which of two it was: to my Latin-language-trained ear, I heard them say it was either "Juanita" or "La Mocha." So I'm like why did a couple small lakes in upstate New York get Spanish (-sounding) names?




A slightly high-falutin Indonesian word for 'woman' is 'wanita'. My dictionary informs me, however, that it comes from Sanskrit.
