Old quizzes

[David Robertson]

Howdy,

Regarding a couple of our previous quizzes:

"Myers Chuck, Alaska" and "Steinhatchee, Florida" are towns whose names
are a blend of native and Euro-American words.  In both cases, if I'm not
mistaken, the native element means "water".

And "kwanEsEm qha khikwEli qha" is a joking rebus-type code for "always
wear underwear"...

Best,
Dave
