Las palabras esconden mundos, y los nombres de ciudades, r\u00edos y monta\u00f1as son puertas secretas hacia historias que nadie cont\u00f3. En esta secci\u00f3n me propongo inventar etimolog\u00edas fant\u00e1sticas \u2014y a veces absurdas\u2014 que transforman la geograf\u00eda en f\u00e1bula. Porque detr\u00e1s de cada Oxford, Hamburgo o Singapur puede haber un buey empujando un Ford T, una hamburguesa navegando en drakkar o un loro cantando \u00f3pera. Bienvenidos a este juego de imaginaci\u00f3n donde la cartograf\u00eda se convierte en literatura.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hoy hablo de OXFORD. OX en ingl\u00e9s significa Buey, as\u00ed que me imagine que OXFORD era un OX (Buey) tirando de un FORD, y para m\u00ed, el FORD m\u00e1s emblem\u00e1tico es el FORD modelo T.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Le ped\u00ed a META.AI que me hiciera un dibujo con mi fantas\u00eda: un buey tirando de un Ford modelo T.
