[Spellyans] Excel SWF-KK-Traditional Corpus-WIP

[Craig Weatherhill]

"Bogus Fleming" nearly had me shooting my coffee down my nose!

No, the Signage Panel hasn't used the Kesva's list at all.  We started from scratch.  There is a current master list, which I have stored in my documents, and which I can send to you.
It's good that we've eliminated most of the mistakes and, of course, the list can be converted into any orthography you please.

It is rather a pity that Kambron and Kambronn have turned up in a document of 1469, held at the Records Office in Truro.  The two spellings occur in the same few lines of text, so the scribe obviously couldn't make his mind up! 
(I was a little sceptical of the discovery at first, but checked up and found, to my disappointment, that the document is genuine).

Kammbronn does not, according to Albert).  This remains the only place-name that was not decided by the Panel.  I've managed to prevent historical foul-ups (as per CLB) in all bar 5 so far (out of 3,000 +) which, for a lone voice, isn't bad and warrants my sticking with it.
