[Spellyans] More on bys/bes words and diacritical marks

[Ken MacKinnon]

Yes - 'as lecherous as is a sparwe' - Chaucer (Prologue)

However re plant names - Anne Trevenen Jenkin is Bryallen.    It may have 
been that hedgerow flowers
were the fashion.

Has anyone yet used Melyonnen Omdennans ?

We are maybe drifting off-topic.
