My grandmother would have known alternate spellings for the name "Condoleezza". For my grandmother was a wise woman from the mountains of Urgomontanyakatori. Ah, how I recall the many evenings we small ones would gather 'round Grandmother's campfire, which she would start on the carpet of her room at the nursing home, and listen to Grandmother tell us the stories behind such charming Old World names as "Arugala", "Drusippishkel", and "Bubba". I'm sure I remember Grandmother once mentioning the name "Condoleezza". Or, was it "Kondolitza"? Or maybe it was "Kaaaaarrrrgh!"...? Grandmother was always making odd sounds like that, as she abstractedly munched on the mice she would catch running between her feet at the nursing home. Perhaps such peculiar, mouse-chewing sounds are the source of many alternate name spellings? It is something to ponder on.
