Yes, that would be another inflected form that "win" doesn't have.

Winnipeg

[Glaurung]

A major Canadian city, in the middle of the prairies. I've no idea who goes there on holiday.

[Tusky]

Nice!

What else do you know about Winnipeg?

[Glaurung]

It's the HQ city for at least one major international insurance corporation. And its name contains the word win.

[Tusky]

Do you know why they choose Winnipeg?

[Glaurung]

No, only that my actuary friends who work for said company live in fear of "Winnipeg" and any questions it might ask them about how they've valued insurance risks.

[Tusky]

I live in constant fear of questions Winnipeg may ask of me.

Do you have any other info about Winnipeg?

[Glaurung]

No, none at all; I couldn't win a quiz about it.

[Tusky]

You might loseipeg.

I think that Winona Ryder holidays there

[Glaurung]

Once again, I am awed by your knowledge of others' holiday habits - I find it hard enough to keep track of my own holidays.

[Tusky]

Have you considered going to Winnipeg?

[Glaurung]

Not really, though I've occasionally looked at it as it's a major stop on the train route across Canada.

[Tusky]

Is that a trip you are planning? And how did Winnipeg fare in your plans if so?

[Glaurung]

Less planning, and more idly musing about. Winnipeg would be a stop-over, partly because I don't want to spend three consecutive nights on the same train if I'm going from Toronto to Vancouver, and partly because Winnipeg is the junction between the trans-continental east-west route, and the north-south route leading to Hudson's Bay.
