Ooh, I like Jackanape. I do use it now and then.

The others are just the names of well known historical people - are they in danger of being lost?

Montezuma will get his revenge, however... Whistle Rolling with laughter

Canute => Cnut
I meant Boadicea, which has gone to Boudica (see, I fallen for it already)
Montezuma => Motecuhzoma

Oh, I see.

Well, Cnut is probably the correct spelling anyway - Canute is a romanisation of the name by the Latinate speakers from France/Normandy.

Likewise, Boadicea is likely to be incorrect and Boudica closer to the correct spelling of a name that was unlikely to be written down at the time. Tacitus, son-in-law of Agricola (who was in Britain during the Iceni Revolt), calls her Boudica in his writings.

As for Montezuma, isn't that just a European spelling of a name that the people that still speak the local lingo spell as Motecuhzoma (other spellings are available, unhelpfully)?

Are you just wanting to cling to the post-Imperial/colonial view of the world, Hugh? Whistle Rolling with laughter Rolling with laughter
