Socna (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Socna, Sokna, Suknah or Sawknah is a town in Libya. It's located some 16.5 km (10 miles) south-west of Houn. A town is a human settlement larger than a village but smaller than a city. The size a settlement must be in order to be called a "town" varies considerably in different parts of the world, so that, for example, many American "small towns" seem to British people to be no more than villages, while many British "small towns" would qualify as cities in the United States. The word town is related to the German word Zaun the Dutch word tuin, and the Norse/Norwegian tun. The German word zaun comes closest to the original meaning of the word: some sort of fence of any material.
