Collation of clues; This city has an early connection with a city in Asia, and a German and British connection in the very early days. These is still a very strong German connection. Cardinal points in local and wider area names (West and South) also give clues to geographic location with respect to Capetown (although one is direct and the other is reversed). . "trees" and language from long ago in Italy could provide a clue as the city may also be an international connection to an area associated with those thoughts. .
