Talk:Mount Cameroon

Mongo ma Loba?
What language is this? In my understanding, the native name (in Bakweri) is Fako, not Mongo ma Loba. Can anyone provide a source for this? — Amcaja 19:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * My mistake; according to the 1911 Britannica, "Mongo ma Loba" is another name for "Fako" (aka "Great" or "Big Cameroon"), Mount Cameroon's major peak (crater). So far as I'm aware, the smaller secondary peak on the southern slopes is known as "Etinde" (aka "Little Cameroon"), which I assume is a native name. For the entire mountain, the 1911 Britannica gives "Mongo ma Ndemi" (Mountain of Greatness) as the native name, so I have amended the article accordingly.
 * From memory, most if not all these names recur on various websites addressing various topics (vulcanology, botany, travel, etc.); here's one as an example. As to which native language these names derive from, I don't know, but if it's not Bakweri, I imagine it's something associated with the Mungo or Duala peoples. Here's hoping I haven't boobed, David Kernow 20:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it's just that the non-Fako native names are new to me. Kingdom on Mount Cameroon by Edwin Ardener gives Fako as the Bakweri name, and, as you suggest, the others may be Duala or Mungo or Isubu or whatever. There's also the possibility of the 1911 names no longer being used. Etinde is still called that, I believe. As long as it's sourced, though, I don't have a problem with keeping the alternate names. — Amcaja 23:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Hanno
In the article about Hanno the Explorer it is said that the end of his journey may have been in Cape Palmas. If so, it would be impossible that he ever sighted Mt. Camerooon, which is well East of that point. I am editing this part making this asertion only "likely" instead of the undisputed claim it is showing now. Mountolive 01:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Coordinates
Are the coordinates currently listed actually precise? If you look them up on GMaps, they don't appear to line up right with the caldera visible on the satellite photo. Auros 21:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll add -- +4° 12' 39.60", +9° 10' 37.20" (as degrees, "4.211, 9.177") appears to work better. Auros 21:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
