Yes, this is a typical kind of scanno where a small e or o with an accent over it is turned into a 6. Both the letters are round and an accent is just a little line above it. A 6 has a round bottom with a slanted line coming off the top. A similar scanno is a capital o in the middle of a word in place of a small o or e that has an accent or more likely an umlaut (two dots side by side) over it.

Hi Marty,Amazon won't let me see inside the book, so I can't tell for sure, but my guess would be "elan". Probably there's an accent mark on the 'e' which is what confused the OCR software.As I said, this is just a guess!

Beyond that I can't figure out that scanno, maybe If I was betting I would say it was "calm" but it doesn't quite fit, sigh.Good luck. Shelley L.
