600 transposals of UK place names.The May 1990 issue of Word Ways carried an article of mine entitled en·ti·tle tr.v. en·ti·tled, en·ti·tling, en·ti·tles 1. To give a name or title to. 2. To furnish with a right or claim to something: "London London, city, Canada London, city (1991 pop. 303,165), SE Ont., Canada, on the Thames River. The site was chosen in 1792 by Governor Simcoe to be the capital of Upper Canada, but York was made capital instead. London was settled in 1826. Wordplay". This was an examination of transposals, transadditions, beheadments and a variety of other wordplay based on place names in and around London, England England, the largest and most populous portion of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (1991 pop. 46,382,050), 50,334 sq mi (130,365 sq km). It is bounded by Wales and the Irish Sea on the west and Scotland on the north. . I recently decided to take a trip--a virtual trip--around Great Britain Great Britain, officially United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, constitutional monarchy (2005 est. pop. 60,441,000), 94,226 sq mi (244,044 sq km), on the British Isles, off W Europe. The country is often referred to simply as Britain. (England, Scotland Scotland, political division of Great Britain (1991 pop. 4,957,000), 30,414 sq mi (78,772 sq km), comprising the northern portion of the island of Great Britain and many surrounding islands. , Wales Wales, Welsh Cymru, western peninsula and political division (principality) of Great Britain (1991 pop. 2,798,200), 8,016 sq mi (20,761 sq km), west of England; politically united with England since 1536. The capital is Cardiff. ) to search for place names that had genuine English-language transposals. I wanted to get away from the London emphasis of my earlier article and discover transposals of place names out around the country. Transposals of some of the larger British cities and towns have appeared in Word Ways and other sources before (e.g. MANCHESTER Manchester, city, England Manchester (măn`chəstər, –chĕs'tər), city and metropolitan district (1991 pop. 397,400), NW England, on the Irwell, Medlock, Irk, and Tib rivers. searchment, LANCASTER Lancaster, city, England Lancaster (lăng`kəstər), city (1991 pop. 43,902) and district, county seat of Lancashire, NW England, on the Lune River. ancestral ANCESTRAL.

To bring forth again in another form without significant alteration: rehashing old ideas. 2. To discuss again. those here. I concentrated on lesser-known places. Indeed, most of the place names mentioned in this article were unknown to me. I used LeXpert, the Scrabble Scrabble Game in which two to four players compete in forming words with lettered wooden tiles on a 225-square board. Words spelled out by letters on the tiles interlock like words in a crossword puzzle. Words are scored by adding up the point values of their letters. player's software tool, to help me find transposals. I could have searched Webster's Third as well, but decided not to, in order to keep things relatively simple. So, all the transposals presented in the following list are courtesy of LeXpert, with four (asterisked as·ter·isk n. A star-shaped figure (*) used chiefly to indicate an omission, a reference to a footnote, or an unattested word, sound, or affix. tr.v. ) exceptions. The counties in which the place names are found are given in brackets brackets: see punctuation. , with full names at the end of the article. Which placename has the most transposals?
