| @mrnrjct: Your point is a good one, and I admit to a dodge switching Moscow to Moskva in an attempt to make it slightly more interesting as an answer. In a similar vein, I used an Icelandic letter where an English transliteration would likely not.
@estivator: Ottawa is also significantly defined by the Ottawa River, which I didn't want to use for obvious reasons (or reasons of obviousness). I didn't dig deeply enough to discover the Rideau, which is, I have now discovered, a significant feature of the city. |
