No, I haven't looked into it beyond asking here but I am still wondering. Maybe I'll have time to research this weekend

Also parsnips, I guess. They already seem akin to turnips.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Catnip was allegedly named after the Roman town of Nepi.
Turnip comes from the Greek nâpu and the Latin napus, meaning mustard.
