Hi- thanks for the response.You have a clear way of summarizing some complex ideas about the spelling.
My intent was to test a theory about spelling changes over time.In seeing patterns from 1500 through 1850 was there a sequence similar to the seqeunce in your list? (I think your answer will be "no," but I am still curious.)I am also curious about names shifting from 2 syllables to 3 syllables.Many researchers seem to be skeptical about that.
