Default Constructing epithets

Monte Baldo does not really sound as if it has its roots in Latin?

Not enough roots of any kind, I think.

Mountains are sometimes regarded as having roots, but to dwell on that would
mean going into a field between geology on the one hand and literature on
the other. I think the tension between botany on the one hand and Latin on
the other is quite enough, without adding further complications?

And definitely no place to spend the night if you're Russian!
