    Thanks for this, as it explains a lot.

    Also, wouldn’t Qhadafia be better explained through Rhodesia?

      It could be too. It depends if the Qhadaf in question was the one founding it (like Cecil Rhodes), or simply some noble the discoverer was trying to please, while fighting the local tribals who were “refusing to be civilised”. Either way, it’s some name that feels completely out-of-place from Europe, much like all three we mentioned.
