Interesting page. I feel somehow that Greek/Latin names have a
tendency to put aside Arab ones which are still very numerous in
Sicily (Mongibello, Gibilmesi, Gibilmeri, Is. delle Femmine, Capo
Zafferano, etc.). Therefore I suggest you not to avoid also these
newer place names in a next version of the page since they're part
of Sicilian history too. OK, there will be no entry in Pokorny for
these ones, but who knows: after all words do circulate. :-)
