At risk of sounding like a carping old Dusty (or a dusty old carp...?), might I just point out that I have some reservations about the Asker\'s glossary entry — surely it\'s \'native OF...\' and not \'from\', which apart from sounding odd to my ears, rather suggests a different connotation...
Am I the only one to be thinking this?

A native of Tours.
In English, we say, Londoner, Dubliner, Glaswegian, New Yorker in the same kind of way.
Other examples are parisien, bordelais and marseillais.
