[Data-modeling] Adjective form of locations

[Tim Kientzle]

You should be very careful to specify the language, of course,
and keep in mind that this exercise is infeasible in many
languages where the adjectival form (and even phrase structure)
varies depending on the specific noun.

Even in English, the adjectival forms for many places can
be unwieldy or even ambiguous: "Cotswoldan Cheeses,"
"Muscovite Museums," "Neapolitan Ice Cream."
