I would make no such assumptions. They name shit for the most random of reasons.
The mountain I am referring to is large enough to qualify as a mountain - including differing from the surrounding terrain enough to qualify aas a mountain.
Maybe a mountain can also be a monodnock? I am not exactly an expert on what is and isn't a monadnock. I just learned the word when you mentioned it.
Yeah, I should not make assumptions like that. You're right.
Someone may have learned that word as they were naming the mountains and went with it. There are many mountains in New Hampshire I believe
Alright...
The name 'monadnuck' actually comes from the mountain itself. It's an Abanaki word (I know some, it's what my people used to speak with a slight dialect change) that means 'mountain that stands alone'.
So, when they call other mountains that stand alone a 'monadnuck', they are using the name from Mount Monadnuck in the Keene, NH region.
I am learning a lot today!
I didn't learn much at work today except the sexy manager at applebee's took a liking to me
