I've been away for some time - as a matter of fact, ever since natural
names were being first discussed. I am ready now to take care of the
rulesets I made, and am a bit confused over the intention of the
feature: I seem to remember that natural names were supposed to be used
for city names that clearly identified some terrain condition. For
example, a city called "Montefrío" ("cold hill") should be marked as a
hill city because of its name, whereas "Barcelona" couldn't be marked as
a coastal one because its name doesn't say "coast" anywhere, even if the
city actually is. Am i right?


BTW, where's the keywords list for modifiers?
