Yes, yes, yes! I've been learning so much lately because I can do an online search with hardly a pause, in the middle of proofing a book. Is that strange word a scanno, typo, or just a word I didn't learn in school.

Yes, apparently as Kim also found out (below Sandi's message, traème is the French word for the 2-dot accent mark we call an umlaut. That explains why I found naive spelled that way when I googled; I was very confused and thought maybe I'd been misled by a Wikipedia mistake. But once certainly can't argue with Oxford and Meriam-Webster. I learnnew things every day (naif a9noun, but apparently also an adjective according to something I found on line) is spelled he same way. Who knew. smile------------------------------------------------------------------------ *From:* Gary Petraccaro <garyp130@xxxxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx *Sent:* Sunday, June 3, 2012 3:43 PM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: Accent marks That's interesting because both Oxford and Meriam-Webster report it as an umlaut i, and one of them claims that it's the french spelling. When I've checked in a book where the word was used, it was the i with the two dots above it. Never took french myself, just German and Latin and slept through both. <sigh> ----- Original Message ----- *From:* Sandi Ryan <mailto:sjryan2@xxxxxxxxx> *To:* bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> *Sent:* Saturday, June 02, 2012 10:10 PM *Subject:* [bksvol-discuss] Re: Accent marks Hi Kim, The symbol you are looking for, though I have no idea how to make it, is a circumflex. I took French in high school and college. Naive is a French word, and the umlaut is not used in French. This i needs a circumflex. I looked in the list that comes up with Insert-4 in JAWS, and they have i acute, though I don't remember what that looks like in Braille. The only reason that matters is that I learned French in Braille. I have stayed out of this until now, because I couldn'tremember what the symbol was called, but now I remembered. I'm not very helpful, since I don't know how to make it, butthat is what it is.

I found the word on a site where it was talking about French accent marks (they do seem to have a lot of them).
