Obviously I meant to write "Too bad about the negative connotations of
"trek" for you, Sandy!"

Now, "Lowlands-L" appears in the top panel anyway, above the actual title,
as in our other presentations.  So there's no need to repeat "Lowlands".

We need to find a title word or phrase that most people understand and
association with what we intend them to associate with.

Unfortunately, the most obvious group of words has different spelling in
American English: "Traveller" ~ "Traveler" etc.

So, bearing in mind that it appears below "Lowlands-L", how about these?

P.S.: Ben, too bad you purged everything! There were some goodies there,
such as late medieval Low Saxon catechism issues, and all sorts of Western
names in Hawaiian and Maori. But, as the saying goes:

He who throws things out in haste
Learns to deal with want and waste.
Isn't there a way of making a living by creating ancient proverbs?
