Because it's not an orthographic specification, 
but because it contains much simply taken over 
uncritically from KK there is no predicting how 
to spell many words, unless they are handed down 
from authority?

Sigh.

>  The texts have both <brentyn> and <bryntyn>.

RN: bryntyn
KG: bryntin
NK: brentyn
NW: brentyn
RG: brentin

OM: bryntyn x3
PC: bryntyn x1
BK: bryntyn x1
BM: brentyn x2
CW: brentyn x1

Wheeeee!

I would spell this word <brentyn>. I suppose a 
case could be made for <brÿntyn>~<brëntyn>.
