🔒 Closed Continents

[Professora Akira]

The name of all the continents end with the same letter that they start with...



It is really impressive, however, we still do not know the reason.


A possible explanation is that most words are of Latin derivation and according to the rules of Latin, most female nouns end in -a, whereas, most male nouns end in -er or -us

North and South are Geographical locations rather than names. So in some ways it does still stand...

Yep. Not to mention Gondwana and Laurasia. But still they are continents. In the ancient time ngalang. So I guess this topic only applies to the modern continents.
