carde, in the Celtic tradition, just to throw another one in the pot, the yew 
tree is a symbol of death and resurrection.

Just learned that during King James' time the letter 'j' had the phonetic
value of modern English 'y' as in 'yes'.

So, should Jehova rather be 'yehova'? By the same token, 'jew' should
perhaps rather be 'yew'. That doesn't, of course, meant that you should
be 'yew'....
