<div><font size="2">On a separate issue of "towns", I find it
interesting that while England and Scotland are littered with "ton" names from
Anglo-Saxon tun (enclosure), when<br>I look at maps of other Lowlands, and
indeed Germanic, countries, I don't see any counterparts. <br></font></div>
<div><font size="2">Here in the US, we have tons of -ton and -town
names. That's including the variants like Wendon, Arizona and others. To me, a
city is big and urban while a town is sandwiched between a village and a
city: NOt big enough to be either. Oh, it's a small town on the
prairie.</font></div>
