I hadn't heard that they had figured out the original meaning of the -nth- element, and never heard of Carians in Corinth. There are a great many placenames in Greece with that element in the name (sometimes disguised as in Tiryns, where the -th- is missing in the nominative case, but found in other forms of the name). There are also a lot of place names in -nd- in Asia Minor which is supposed to be a variant of the same element.
Another example of this element is the word "labyrinth" which is believed to mean "the house of the double axe."
Of course to get the latest theories you need to axe a Bronze Age specialist.
;') The -nth place names are found (or rather, were found, during later classical times) in Italy and parts of former Yugoslavia, as well as Greece, Anatolia, and the Aegean. Hmm, wonder where that scan is... [rummages around the hard drives]
