Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fire Maringo / Fire Marengo
Thanks, Gibb. I mentioned India because I was thinking as far afield as possible. It's hypothetically possible that a foreign "s" became :sh" in English, hence "Shenandoah," but I don't see that idea going anywhere.

The existence of both a mundane "Sally Brown" and an oddball "Shallow Brown" is interesting though.
