Subject: Hyphens and "wrens"
I never realised there's a hyphen in "fairy-wren", and "emu-wren" too, till I
saw the responses to my recent posting in the never ending Jabiru discussion.
They don't put a hyphen in grasswren, fernwren, heathwren or scrubwren, and I
just assumed none of them had one.
Does anyone know the reasons for this? Surely it's not just the result of some
random decisions.
