Dear Jansy and all,
 
If you are interested, here are the revised anagrams:
 
RONALD ORANGER + GO = GERALD + ORGANON + OR = LORD + ONAGER + ORGAN = GOLD + ARGO + NARR + ONE = LONDON + RARA + GORGE = ROGER + NAROD + NALOG = GARAGE + DONON + LORRAINE – AÏ – NE (narod is Russian for "people;" nalog is Russian for "tax;" "Donon" is a famous restaurant in St. Petersburg, on the Bol'shaya Morskaya Street; Ai is a famous champagne; ne is a Russian negative particle; if there are other unfamiliar words, look them up in a dictionary)
 
ANTILIA GLEMS + GERALD + ADA + SEVAN = GITANILLA + ESMERALDA + NAVSEGDA (navsegda is a Russian adverb meaning "forever;" Esmeralda is also a butterfly, see VN's poem "Lines written in Oregon;" Sevan is a lake in Armenia)
 
KISEL' = SEKIL' = SIEKL'... (for kisel' and sekil', see my "Ada's Spirits" note; siekl' is the French word siècle, "century," in Russian spelling; Marina, who spoke French with a Russian accent, would have pronounced it that way)
