> A Catholic friend forwarded me the message of September 25th from
Medjugorje.

> Apparently, the name of the town means "between the hills."
>
> I had conjectured that the -jugo- part might mean "south," Jugoslavia (or
Yugoslavia) is loosely
> "the land of the Southern Slavs," but then there isn't much left over for
"between the hills."
>
> Any ideas?
