Hi

i would like to know why when i search for '20 de Noviembre' i find 'Viente de Noviembre' and there is no alternate names with '20 de Noviembre' for http://www.geonames.org/3801984/viente-de-noviembre.html . is there some synonyms ? (example : 20=>viente)

Thanks

David

This is a pure coincidence. There are no synonyms other than the alternate names. The Mexican city 'Viente de Noviembre' happens to be in the state Oaxaca, which has the fips code '20'.
