   note: "the italians apply the term il duomo to the principal
         church of a city, and the germans call every cathedral
         church dom; and it is supposed that the word in its
         present english sense has crept into use from the
         circumstance of such buildings being frequently
         surmounted by a cupola." --am. cyc.
