Full Ugandi county? Perhaps you have published maps available for reference to show what are you talking about? The fact is, there is no reference available other that the Chronicles of Henry who didn't provide any maps and all maps are just reconstructions. On this one Ugandi might extend too far south. and for the record, I don't see any difference either this article is called Ugandi or Ugandi county. Perhaps Ugandi would be even preferred since it would fit with Vironia, Revelia. Only Sakala County goes with -county pattern at the moment. Everything, all ancient counties should be according to one standard I think. Either way, one or another. And we need to get rid of this ancient Estonian independent eldership that's all over the place. Nobody has ever called those administrative districts "elderships", not in any language, this is complete -***P%@. --Termer (talk) 05:15, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The Origin of name Odenpah in Ugandi
Here the writer is wrong. The word derives from old Finno-Ugrian Otsonpää (Bear´s head). Otso is still used in Finnish language for bear, as well as Mesikämmen (Honey Bruin) among other names used for bear, the Metsän Kuningas King of the Forest. That is for sure the Otsonpää have not any Slavonic language roots as well as Ugandi. It derives from either Livonian or Finnish-Estonian ancient common language. The same with name Pskov which derives from ancient Finno-Ugrian Finnish Pihkova / and Estonian Pihkva which are both derived from Pihkava (lot of resin) which means Pitchy in English language. The Slavs changed it Piskov and Cyrillos in Kijev dropped i out of the word. The German Pleskau derives from Latvian Pleskavas, all meaning the same town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.112.84.229 (talk) 19:05, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
