Some time ago, I wanted a word that meant "a word derived from a
geographic name". There didn't seem to be one, so I coined my own:
EPOTOPE. I came up with it by taking parts of EPOnym and TOPonym and
then adding an -E for pronunciation reasons. It turns out I didn't
actually use it much, although I was considering writing a book about
them. Who knows, maybe I'll write it after I retire.
So this quiz is about epotopes. In some cases, the epotope is spelled
differently than the geographic name. Either one will do as an answer
here. For question 5, one point for each part, and it doesn't matter
which order you give the answers.
The usual rules apply, blah blah blah. Contest ends Sunday, 8 November
2015 sometime in the evening my time (whenever I get around to scoring
it, which could be quite late).
1. Goat hair, but are they Indian or Pakistani goats?
2. Pacific crustacean -- nothing to do with the headland or its nuke
plant in Kent.
3. The Duke of Beaufort didn't have anything to do with inventing the
game, yet his house gets the blame.
4. Papal melons.
5a. Scottish pattern
5b. the other Scottish pattern
6. Rum, sugar, limes, and ice can all be found in Cuba.
7. Italian battle colors this answer.
8. I wanted a French auto body style, but I got a sedan instead.
9. They know how to dress for riding in the Thar Desert.

had this conversation before with someone, but I forget if it was with
you or someone else.

want epotope and not epitope?
