The word Lethe seems to have nothing to do in terms of origin with the term Leth has in Lethbridge which seems to be Celtic and not Greek.
Correct.
Of course no one implied otherwise. I'd say Lethe/Lethes were only mentioned as part of his research notes.....as where I suggested he included
"a Lethbridge in Alaska" and a mythical river named Lethes as
raw data collected in normal research (as mentioned several times), ie research which the guy is good at.
Aside from the fact Lethbridge originated has a family name in Devon England and Lethe is the name of a river in the Greek underworld.
Correct.
I checked the Canadian Geographical Names Database (CGNDB)
http://www4.nrcan.gc.ca/search-place-names/search according to it there is Lethbridge Lakes, Two very small lakes on Baffin Island next to each other. Named in 1951.
In Saskatchewan there is a Lethbridge Lake named in 2004. part of it is in the Northwest Territories.
There is a Lethbridge Road in the Province of New Foundland and Labrador near the village of Lethbridge.
There is a Canadian Armed Forces training range called Lethbridge near Lethbridge Alberta.
There is a small lake called Lethbridge in Manitoba named in 2020.
All of those names seem to be allusions to Lethbridge Alberta
or the Lethbridge family.
I find it interesting that it was very easy to check all this out and also that many of the names are late and postdate, with the possible exception of Lethbridge in New Foundland, the founding of Lethbridge Alberta.
I also find it interesting that in the USA the name Lethbridge is totally absent has a name of a habitation or a geographical feature which did quite surprise me.
Agreed...Thanks. Maybe you accessing sources the guy uses.
Your finding
"a Lethbridge" in NW Saskatchewan confirms my initial inclusion of NW Sask.
In my (brief and incomplete) search, NW Sask first appeared as a flag/pin on google maps. When I enlarged it, I found no Lethbridge. So I did not pursue it, beyond initially mentioning a NW Sask Lethbridge early on these pages.
As I said I dont much care about confirming because I've already seen enough to know he is right about this name game played by elite puppetmasters. Why certain critics get all hysterical about, in their objections to the idea,seems rather odd to me. Perhaps because it generally undermines their house of cards.
Regarding Baffin Island waters, thanks. Finding
"a Lethbridge" body of water was indicated in part of the guy's original info I shared
here.
"Here" of course refers to this hallowed hall, full of highly esteemed, brilliant, critically thinking, open minded, respectful, courteous, honest, thoughtful, truly genius and very polite thought leaders,....all of which terms certify their status as luminaries here at ISF, clearly the pinnacle of professional "skeptic" world thinkers....demonstrating that they are not arrogant ignorant mean spirited morons and stupid fools. I commend them for that.
I find it interesting that it was very easy to check all this out, and also that many of the names are late and postdate, with the possible exception of Lethbridge in New Foundland, the founding of Lethbridge Alberta.
Yes it is easy to check. I have seen enough of the guy's alignments to know he is reliable, so I did not bother doing so.
Also, good for you. There is no end date applied to the data set. The guy I got it from was posting current findings until he paused around 2010 or so.
He never got around to saying anything about whether or not the Lethbridge family's enjoyed any ownership share or family connection to Hudson Bay Co or any subsidiary outfits back in the day involved with assigning names to places, or even any parties still practicing the name game.
Is the Lethbridge family still around?
