Thanks. Wouldnt the name Leanne also use the ea groupsign?

Harry Potter is common enough reading that perhaps "Severus" will make it
into the exceptions list for the next edition of the manual.
The manual says that "lineage" has both the "in" and "ea" group signs. So,
I bet Phineas should, too.

Subject: [duxuser] Query of Words/Names where Duxbury Omits Contractions
Hello, Everyone,
Im proofreading a Harry Potter book and have been unable to clearly
understand why Duxbury omits contractions in the following names:
Severus (omits initial-letter sign ever
Leanne (omits groupsign ea
Hogsmeade (omits groupsign ea
Phineas (omits groupsign ea
With Severus, it could be that the syllable stress is on the first syllable
and therefore pronounced as Se-VER-us in which case it would be correct not
to use ever. The above instances where the ea has been omitted, however,
leave me puzzled.
Ive also been putting these queries forward to a UEB Discussion list but
thought Id ask on this list as well to try to arrive at a clear conclusion
of how the above words should be brailed.
Thanks a lot to anyone who can shed some light on this for me.
Regards
Peg
