==Etymology== | |||
Burgundie derives its name from the ''brugan'' (Eng. {{wpl|Erica|spring heather}}), a {{wpl|calcifuge}} that thrives in the {{wpl|andisol}} of the [[Belrac caldera]]'s higher elevations on the [[Isle of Burgundie]]. In the classical era the heather was considered the "lighthouse at the end of Istroyan civilization" while there were additional settlements by the [[Istoryan civlization]] further north in eastern [[Levantia]] they never achieved the status of the principal core city-states that dotted northeastern [[Sarpedon]] and southern [[Levantia]]. | |||
The spelling has been corrupted over three major linguistic shifts, suffering degradation in each of these transliterative {{Wpl|phono-semantic matching}} occurrences. While the heather itself is still spelled and pronounced brug- (Burg: le brugose), the nation itself lost its direct connection to the heather and was no longer linguistically tied to it when Latin became the lingua franca of the area around 100 BC. | |||
