Jim,

This is no more plausible than proposing that the country of Norway has no
roads, because 'r' is often not pronounced distinctively in certain languages
related to Norwegian, and so the etymology of the name 'Norway' might reflect
the phrase 'No Way', in which 'way' is a synonym for 'road', and therefore
Norway is the country of No Roads, which makes sense seeing that much of its
northern coastline is broken by fjords, which are very discouraging to road
builders. The opposite of Norway is obviously the Greek island of Rhodes.
