Eagle = Erne

[Carl Clifford <>]

Dear All,

As many respondents to my earlier post re. a 4 letter word for Eagle  
is indeed Erne, of Anglo-Saxon/Norse origin. It seems that one of my  
relatives and his mates took their own word for eagle, "egle", when  
they went on holiday to England from Normandy in 1066, and it sort of  
caught on with the locals.
Cheers,

Carl Clifford
