Nope, we're going after SASKATCHEWAN! Because it sounds funny. Also it's apparently open for invasion purchase.

The question is, with so many wood puns around, is this thread heading towards a woodchipper, or will it be granter safe arbour?

Purely as a matter of interest, as the term was common in my childhood but seems to have fallen out of use - did anyone pick up on "deal"?
I didn't until you drew my attention to it. I have heard of deal as a wood but it's not a word I've heard in current usage.

I wonder how long it's gonna take for us to branch out from tree puns though. There can only be some many trees in a forest right?

I've said it before, but: I'm all in favour of Maire. The way I pronounce it ends up as more or less "mær".. as in "Maiden". :laugh:

Not in origin; "mare" (English) is from "*marhijō", a feminine form of "*marhaz", horse (possibly of Celtic origin), while "mær" (Icelandic and Old Norse) is from "*mawī", a feminine form of "*maguz", boy (of PIE origin).

In Danish, however, "mær" means mare, not maiden ...

Oh, and in French, "maire" (from Latin "major") means master, and gave rise to Middle English "mer", "mair", meaning mayor. :)
