Is that supposed to be a movie? If so, the title is "Mu riel's Wedding", which actually negates the onnicle...

If the penult is negated, do I have to write mine (i.e., the ult) backwards to have it count?

Sara Forestier is incorrect! (although I can sort of see how you arrived there (although I'd never heard of her until now))

Depending on how svelt Tahnee is or isn't, "Miss HIN" may mean "Hull Identification Number."

I see "youth train" in there, if rainforest(squared) means "rainforestrainforest." (Maybe Sting would know.)
I am expressly not expressing any confidence in this being the answer.

to be more explicit about the previous nomenclature..
rainforests is to Sting
as
Haiti is to ??
edit: there's usually a telling reason behind that which looks unusual in an onnicle (unless it's a red herring.. which this isn't)

Since tsuwm is currently silent about the answers proffered, I'll proffer a new one to work on:
That I know of, he was never arrested for being a john, but did seem to enjoy poetry, as many will; iambic pentameter the most popular vehicle, (not a motorcar...), sonnet, haiku, cinquain or ode, I think he just liked to rhyme!
Whew! Pretty obvious, but I had fun making it.... :0)

The say the obvious is the most obscure.
I was stuck on Do Thi Hai and was trying to figure out how "yen" could fit in. I guess in a way as that is what U2 would be raising. Good One!

VITUS (JONAS) BERING!
Onnicle: The judges found his sonata far and away the better of the two pieces. Her essay was good, but she had to settle for second place in the talent competition.
