Makes sense to me. "Hogsmeade" should have the "ea" contraction, too; I can't
think of any rule that would forbid its use.
As for "Severus", the stress is on the first syllable, if the movies and my
Roman history professor (discussing Septimus Severus) are to be believed. So I
think "ever" should be contracted as well.

Thanks. Wouldn't 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,
I'm 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.
I've also been putting these queries forward to a UEB Discussion list but
thought I'd 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
