Hehe, at first I thought you might have posted before I edited my post. I put Ilium first, but changed it because I didn't think there was an iu word (plus there wasn't another vowel after...I guess it could have been an im word next, but why complicate things?) then consulted my Herodotus and found another name for Troy. But it was moot...who knew there were/are so many strange names?
