	Department of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs - Placenames Orders
		The maps and the placenames are exclusively in the English language (for the most part they are anglicised spellings of the original Irish language placename).
		Once such a statutory order is made in respect of any particular placename in any area outside the Gaeltacht, the effect of the new legislation is that the Irish and the English versions of the placename have the same status and the same legal force and effect.
		These Placename Orders declare the official Irish version of placenames for County Kilkenny, County Louth, County Limerick, County Monaghan, County Waterford (except the Gaeltacht), and County Offaly and the official names of administrative Counties and Provinces.

	A Survey of the History of English Placenames
		To combat this sort of confusion, scholars of English placenames collect as many early forms of a name as possible and analyze them in the light of their knowledge of language and dialect, grammar, pronunciation, topography, sound shifts and other relevant factors.
		The earliest placenames in England are a small number that may be preCeltic in origin, including the river names Colne, Humber, Itchen, Ouse and Wey.
		These became placenames because they were transferred from the people to whom they referred to the territory of that people.

	Mobilemaps Nearby-Engine: Sox Installation
		The tool allows a portal to identify words that are placenames, which can then be used to identify where to search from in a nearby engine.
		The process removes any dictionary words from the input list of placenames, and gives fine control over specific words; that is, whether a particular word should be considered a placename or a query term.
		The first line returned is your placenames, the second line is your keywords, and the third line is any additional words you entered, such as state codes, stop words (eg.

	Ancient Lothian - Placename (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Placename evidence can often be a revealing source of information, not only about the linguistic and cultural history of the landscape, but also its history, legends and mythology.
		However, while no specific regional placename is indicated in the Latin sources, Lothian itself was inhabited by a Brythonic tribe known in Latin as the Votadini.
		However, similar placenames throughout ancient and modern Europe are also conjectured to derive from the likes of Lugudunion and Lugudunum, such the Gaulish placenames Lyon, Loudun and Leiden, and even the name of London is sometimes thought to have this root.

	The placename ‘Carden’ (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Placenames often preserve information relating to the history of an area that is not found explicitly in documentary or archaeological sources.
		For instance, the language and form of a name can give clues about the origins of a settlement and the form which it took, whilst field names can indicate past discoveries of buried treasure or suggest former land use and topography.
		As a minor subdivision of an estate based at Tilston, Carden would not have been mentioned as a separate unit until the fragmentation of Saxon estates in the post-conquest period.

	Placename Isogramy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		It is, as far as I know, the longest solidly written placename isogram in the United States.
		Having searched lists of US placenames many times in the past, I was fairly sure that there were no other good examples there.
		The three 16-letter placenames in Borgmann's list were the longest known isograms that are sanctioned by any reference work.

	Maeshowe - The Origin of the placename (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For years, scholars have puzzled over the placename element maes - found not only in Maeshowe, but also attached to a number of places across Orkney.
		But although this could apply to the shoreside maes- placenames, it doesn't make any sense in relation to Maeshowe.
		So for years the Maeshowe placename was generally consigned to the "unknown" bin.

	Collected Precedents of the S.C.A.: Placenames
		A placename combining an element derived from 'B{e-}da's' and an element refering to a geographical feature or structute (stream, church, spring, etc.) would be registerable.
		All period Italian placenames beginning with Campo that the College was able to find are shown as a single word and do not include the particle di.
		We note that there are no citation of this placename in Black, Reaney and Wilson or Johnston between the late 13th century and the mid-17th century so it is not clear when the intrusive -d- first occurred.

		Like the element discussed in section 20.1, Personal Names, the element may be regarded simply as an abbreviation for the tags type=place> or .
		Strictly, a suitable value such as figurative should be added to the two place names which are presented periphrastically in the second example here, in order to preserve the distinction indicated by the choice of rather than to encode them in the first version.
		As indicated above, the may simply contain a character string and its type attribute may be used to provide a sub-categorization of place names.

Certainty and Responsibility

She had always liked id="p2">Essex.It is not clear here whether Essex refers to the place or to the nobleman.

According to one expert, there is a 60 percent chance of ‘Essex’ being a place name here, and a 40 percent chance of its being a personal name.
