No written vowel is what her post seems to indicate.

Thanks, but yes, I was looking for English words ... although Welsh is close!

Yes, Jackie, I have been saddled with this spelling since my mother wanted to name me after a cousin who was Guinevere, but they always called her Guin - but she didn't like that spelling. It is also a man's name in Wales, they tell me. We have a daughter Jacquie (Jacqueline) who we fought with in early school years how to spell her shortened name!

Yes, that is exactly what I was looking for -- the 'ism' and 'nth' are the types of answers I knew you all would know. Thanks for your attention to this answer, even without my being back here!

How time flies! BTW, when replying to a post that isn't immediately above your reply, it is helpful to quote from the post you are replying to. Otherwise it is sometimes hard to tell just what the reply means.

[/quote] Thanks Faldage -- perhaps I will get back to this forum more often. I am always happy to learn from other linguaphiles!
