wen: a cyst on the skin, hence "the Great Wen" = London. From Old English wenn, from proto-Germanic *wanjaz.

Oh, sorry - did you mean "win"?

Thank you, I'm so glad you clarified that. So not "win" either, then.

I am still attempting to learn Russian, and since it's St. C and M day I shall attempt to say win in cyrillic

Ah, the eternal problem of transliteration - how to write words in a script that doesn't have letters for the sounds that you're trying to represent. Maybe "УИН" would be better?

No, merely distracted, by something more urgent but less exciting.
