Placename etymology

	Etymology (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Etymology is the study of the origins of words.
		The word etymology itself comes from the Greek ήτυμος (étymos, meaning of a word) and λόγος (lógos, science).
		As a language, English is derived from the Anglo-Saxon, a dialect of West Germanic (as was Old Low German), although its current vocabulary includes words from many languages.

	ETYMOLOGY FACTS AND INFORMATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The word ''etymology'' itself comes from the Greek ''ἔτυμον'' (''Ã©tymon'', the true meaning of a word, from 'etymos' true) and ''λόγος'' (''lÃ³gos'', science).
		From Antiquity through the 17th century, from Pindar to Sir Thomas_Browne, etymology has been a form of witty wordplay, in which the supposed origins of words were mythologized to satisfy contemporary requirements, much as myths were formed to explain archaic rituals that were no longer comprehensible.
		Plutarch's etymology of "syncretism", involving Cretans banding together, rather than a parallel to ''concrete'' or ''accrete'', is uncritically accepted even today (see Syncretism).

	Noldorin Plurals in the Etymologies
		I believe however that they also deserve a study in their own right so as to appreciate more fully how similar and how different Noldorin and Sindarin are, especially regarding the workings of metaphonies, whose traces are used as a plural indicator in both languages.
		It may not be insignificant that final affection of o is usually to y in Sindarin (with the noteworthy exception of ered as a pl. of orod mountain and the Gondorian ened as a pl. of onod Ent, beside regular eryd and enyd, cf.
		The Etymologies are inconsistent on that matter, however: there is a similar case with the imparisyllabic thêl pl. thelei (V:392) but it is contradicted by pêl pl. peli (V:380, VT46:8).

		South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands (territory of the United Kingdom: On 17th January 1755 the British Captain James Cook landed on the main island and named it the Isle of Georgia in honour of King George III.
		It was believed that in the early 17th century, when the Dutch East India Company came to build a commercial post at today's Tainan (Chinese meaning "south of Taiwan"), they adopted the name of an aboriginal tribe transliterated as "Tayouan" or "Teyowan" in their records.
		This very name was also adopted by Chinese merchants and later by officials, although different transliteration into Han characters tended to obscure the real etymology by sound, and often evoked varying myths and imaginings.

	Philament Issue 3: Bent Sorensen - An On & Off Beat: Kerouac’s Beat Etymologies
		The short form of the participle "beat" (rather than the off-beat form "beaten") is still found in certain words such as "dead-beat." Curiously these words have echoes in the cultural connotations of the word "beat" when defined and used as a generational epithet by writers such as Jack Kerouac.
		The Kerouacian etymology of "beat" is thus in a deep sense an off-beat etymology.
		First, because the actual etymology of "beatific" is nowhere cognate with or closely related to that of "beat." "Beatific" derives, via French (Kerouac's childhood tongue) "beatifique" from Latin "beatus" (blessed, from "beare," make happy).

		I don't blame the people who compiled the list, who are simply enthusiastic amateurs who love words and had no means of judging the validity of the etymologies they ran across, but it's depressing to think this is what people looking for information online will find and cite.

		It's not good enough for "the majority of his etymologies" to be correct (or at least plausible); if you're going to be putting something out there as a resource for the public, you have an obligation to make it as correct as possible, and whoever compiled this site has not even tried.
