| Summary: | place I find it hard to detect anything special, but maybe my [INC] is 'blocked' by other common terms. _JDAW_? G. Maybe superfluous, but I have been looking for the normal name for a community of houses. Town, village, city, won't do. Cove, harbour, maybe some more, are the waterside common generics. It struck me that _place_ is the inland community named by Nfldrs. B G. What do you think? [I can always "feel" the local usage when I come upon it.] Most speakers just use the word _this_- "We leaved _this_."etc. _PLACE_ not heard of in any special Nfld. context by me. J. _Query_ Not used Not used Queried Handwriting |
