	New town name Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

Can I just propose Mistral as the name of one of the new towns we are founding (or is that too French for some of our American Stormers )

Mistral is fine by me.

Mistral sounds great.

There is this name for an area with no winds in the ocean- I don't remember it, but it sounds pretty good- also good for peace-time town. If anyone knows what I'm talking about (I'm sure someone does)- it can be used for our next city...

Oh, wait. It's French? Oh, well, we can't have that!

We can't run out of city names. I just discovered a website with hundreds of regional wind names. It's in German, but I think that doesn't matter.

Here's the link: http://www.mondorf-wetter.de/regiow...c_regiowind.htm

Oh, and yes, I'm convinced we need that many names!

I can't bear these Voxian and Spanish names.

After Mistral, Scirocco is a hot candidate. We also need a Föhn and a Höllentäler, to represent my region and to annoy the hell out of you non-umlauters . To comfort our American friends, Chinook is in order (Rocky region). Chocolatero (Mexican) sounds sweet, no? There's a lot of good names in.

Arrian- it's not french actually.

I can't believe I forgot the name... you know, an area in the ocean where there's almost no wind- and sail ships are kind of "stuck" or are moving very slowly

Calm?

And what is Mistral if not French?

Etymology of 'mistral':

1604, from French., from Provencal mistral, literally "the dominant wind," from mistral (adj.) "dominant," from Latin magistralis "dominant," from magister "master."

Provencal is a group of dialects from southern France.

Sorry Arrian- I thought you referred to that word I was looking for, not Mistral.
French... that's interetsting. It actually sounds rather scandinavian.

And, its not not calm that I was looking for, it is a rather long word...

Wrong answer, DeepO, sorry,
Its one word, not a phrase- that has some latin ring to it...

Now you remind me of my grandma (no offense, really, she's the nicest person ever) and myself- when she forgets a word, it makes me forgetful as well, and the harder I try the harder it is to recall.

You shouldn't try so hard- it'll just pop up in my head some time, I guess.
