Farrell More Etymological Curiosities Anil AMERICAN CITIES: MORE TRANSPOSALS Jeff Grant Hastings, New Zealand In the last issue of Word Ways (Volume 51, Issue 4), in his 43-page epic ‘Criticise A Name (Otherwise: Transposing American Cities)’, Darryl Francis provides transposals for most of the 310 American cities with a population of over 100,000. This is an attempt to fill in some of the gaps and to improve on some of the transposals. Not all new transposals are necessarily improvements, but they are at least worth noting. We have recorded the rank, name, transposal, definition and source for each city, but not the state. Reference to Darryl’s article will provide that information.
