aye-LIN-ed ....

...first syllable is somewhere between aye and eye.

---

The more common Welsh spelling is Eluned (eh-LIN-ed).

---

The relationship between Eluned and Lynette (also Lunette in early versions) is confused at best - I'll look it up later :)

Better wait for Ms Merriment for this one - she's fabulous.

---

My (related query is: I have seen in print the confident claim that the girl's name Lynnette is derived from Eiluned. This would give a clue to the pronunciation, no doubt.

---

It looks a bit remote from reality, though. I wouldn't be surprised if Lynnette was a dim. of Helen, or simply of good old Lynn. Does anyone have any ideas?

All the best
