[ANSTHRLD] Name check please

[Mike C. Baker / Kihe Blackeagle]

If memory serves, this is actually a case where the simple explanation is a bit different -- "Etaoin" is a variant spellynge for "Edain" (or the other way round, perhaps).  

I don't *understand* lenition / related variations in rendering Irish and other Gaelic across the gulf of years, but after a bit of exposure I retain a little bit of knowledge.  As usual, a dangerous thing...

Adieu, Amra / ttfn - Mike / Pax ... Kihe

  "Etaoin" comprises the six most common letters in English, in order of relative frequency.  I suspect it's just a made-up name.
