It also comes from the name of a county, an ancient one in the South, called "Ugandi".

English is in fact my mother tongue, Castellano would be my lengua paterna (if he weren't Éireannach ), and Deutsch is my Eselsprache

There's a county in Estonia called Revala, which I find funny, since in Finnish slang "reva" means the private lower body regions of the female anatomy.

I guess it comes from the Swedish word "reva":

reva (n.)

Argyle gimp, crevice, rent, rift, rip, scroll gimp, slit, snag, split, tear

Now what you've done there is gone too far south. The names are similar I grant you, but we're still within the bounds of the Estonian Empire. : No big lizards here, only small ones.

I wouldn't feel bad about that if I were you. I'm sure that if the lingua franca was still French, you would speak it, and we would be having this discussion in merry French while chewing on garlic. :

I blame Shakespeare.

Although not on equal terms with "The Bard" when considering his complete body of work, my favorite English Poet is John Donne. I'm also quite fond of the English Romantic Poets, especially Blake, Byron, and Coleridge. Wordsworth is a little too pastoral for my taste.
