[Ansteorra] "ugh" in late-period Italian

[Coblaith Muimnech]

Whilst using _Queen Anna's New World of Words_ <http://www.pbm.com/ 
~lindahl/florio/> to confirm some cants in 16th-century Italian  
armorials <http://coblaith.net/Heraldry/Armorials/ 
default.html#pontifs>, I ran across a list of "Interiections of  
griefe, of calling, of intreating, of feare, of loathing, or of any  
passion," that I thought might be of use to gentles with late-period  
Italian personae who would like to insert a little persona-specific  
vocabulary into their speech at events.  I transcribed it and now  
offer you the opportunity to learn to say "boe peepe" or "welladay"  
in a whole new language, at <http://coblaith.net/ItalInterj.html>.

Note:  I *didn't* transcribe the pronunciation guide in the book, but  
it might be of use, too--though it unfortunately doesn't specify the  
dialect reflected.
