SAVANNA or
SAVANNAH
  (Span. sdvana, a
sheet
 ;
Late
  Lat. sabanum, Gr. o0avov, a linen
cloth
 ), a
term
  applied either to a plain covered with snow or ice, or, more generally, to a treeless plain. Its use in
English
 , more frequent formerly than now, is most common in application to the
great
  plains of central North America, in which it is practically the equivalent of " prairie " (q.v.). In this application it was first used (accented thussavdna) by the Spanish historian Gonzalo de Oviedo y Valdes in the 16th
century
 .
