The AnswerMug Challenge Series, Scrambled Cities Edition: take the name of any city in the world, rearrange its letters to spell a

different word, a word that already exists and can be said/pronounced. Not just a bunch of scrambled letters. Obviously, spelling counts. 

RULES:
1. Please include both the name of the city and the new word.  
2. Please keep it clean. 
3. Any language may be used for the name of the city and for the new word, not just English.
4. Cities that are made up of more than one word qualify, but the new word must include all the letters in the city's name. 
5. The new word can be from any of the seven parts of speech, can be a proper noun, such as the name of a person, place or thing.
6. No abbreviations, acronyms or slang words can be used either for the name of the city or the new word.
7. Compound words, plurals, and can be used.
8. Cities only.  No names of countries, continents, regions, bodies of water, provinces, prefectures, states, counties, etc. 
9. If this is your very first AnswerMug Challenge, welcome aboard!
10. Enjoy!

Example: 
Ames -- mesa
Taos -- oats
Thebes -- behest
Tokyo -- Kyoto

  • I tried answering this earlier, but AnswerMug kicked me off.  I come back to find that this is easier than I thought. I thought that the idea was to name a city and rearrange the letters to name another city. Anyway ....

    "Verden" ... (Ok)  to  "Denver" ... (Co)
