Cantoine
Canton (But "Canton" is not really "Canton" -- it's "Guangzhou".)
Taijing
Beijing, or some combination of any number of places whose names start with Tai (Taishan -- see above -- Taiyuan, etc.) and any number of capitols/ former capitols (Beijing, Nanjing ...) -- (Above two stedding mentioned in TGH: 36, 520, Among the Elders, 439
Tsofu
An unfortunate tasteless high protein food?
