Mark,

<p>What's the correct form for Zh&eacute;sifo in Cadhinor: "Ct&eacute;sifon" or "Ct&eacute;sifos"? I'm asking that because on Virtual Verduria texts we can read "Ct&eacute;sifon", and in the Atlas we can see "Ct&eacute;sifos". Did you decide to change the orthography of that word or there are two ways of naming the city in Cadhinor?

<p>Regards,

<p>Gustavo Pereira 


<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p><b>Ctesifos</b> is the original name of the city; <b>Ctesifon</b> is
an augmentative (compare the classical augmentative -ond-).    (The accents
are used when writing the words in Verdurian.)

<p>(As a few people have surmised, the city is named for the ancient 
capital of Persia.)
