[Alain] In "8endake", the "Huron village" (6 or 7 km from my home) lives the "8endat" nation (you write "wyandot" in English, where the French Jesuites wrote "8endat" [i.e. "wendat"]. "8endat" = "Huron" indeed). Alain LaBonté Québec PS the "8' is a Greek ligature, in fact an u (psilon) on top of an o (omicron), so "8" is an abuse, the character is completely open on its top. The actual character is encoded in Unicode/UCS. The "8endat" language also uses a Greek theta in addition to the usual Latin letters...
