Gandy, Utah
Originally known as Smithville, Gandy was renamed in 1925 after Isaac Gandy, the first ranch owner in the area back when this was a post office stop along the Pony Express/Overland Route.

Further, the temple offers services to immerse cremation ashes in the sacred mountain stream to be thus carried to Kaveri River and from there to the ocean.
From the article "Papanasini stream"

New words for this challenge:

punvereya [pʉnvəˈɾeːʃɐ] - to immerse (into a liquid)
Etymology: pun- "into" + veyera "to dive". Note that the final two consonants <y> and <r> underwent a metathesis in the second word; the reason for that is unknown.

pervíneta [pəɾˈviːnətɐ] - to cremate [SOUTHERN STANDARD]
cremata [kɾəˈmaːtɐ] - to cremate [NORTHERN STANDARD]
Etymology I: ingressive prefix per- + vinet "ash"
Etymology II: loan word from English cremate.
Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Oh, this looks fun. From "Blackspotted Seabream":

"The blackspot seabream (Pagellus bogaraveo), also known as the red seabream, is a marine ray-finned fish species in family Sparidae. It is widespread in the Eastern Atlantic from Norway to Mauritania, including Macaronesia and the western Mediterranean."


New words:
pulon /pyˈlɔ̃/ m.n. "seabream". Ultimately from Latin PHAGER "a type of fish", possibly a diminuitive PAGELLUS; OV peïel, MV piel, later pielon with the somewhat meaningless suffix -on; then early ModV pilon, becoming pulon by the rounding influence of labial p-. Cognate to French pageot, pagel "fish of the Sparidae family".

Nordewi /nodˈwi/ m.n. "Norway". From MV Nordui, Norduei, OV Nordoei, borrowed from Old English Norþweġ.

All of these programs are based on the philosophy that careful analysis of data should dictate policies and support reform.
