And is there a word to describe what happens when a proper placename changes? I'm thinking that I grew up knowing about Mount McKinley which is now frequently called "Denali." What is the name for the process by which a placename loses its place to another? Or have I got that backwards? #113587 - 10/14/03 02:23 AM Re: Parnassus   Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 sjmaxq Carpal Tunnel sjmaxq   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Jul 2003 Posts: 3,230 Te Ika a Maui For a trip down recollection road, try this thread: http://wordsmith.org/board/showthreaded.pl?Cat=&Board=words&Number=11213 noho ora mai http://maxqnzs.com/References.html #113588 - 10/14/03 03:02 AM Re: Parnassus   Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Father Steve Carpal Tunnel Father Steve   Carpal Tunnel Joined: Sep 2000 Posts: 2,788 Seattle, Washington, USA Hey!
