MoS 1393

[fifercore]

18d Anglo-Saxon leader, brother of Horsa.

Put this in as Hengist, but on checking, notice some sources give spelling as Hengest.
Any opinions as to correct version?

the ferry is named hengist,it seems the most popular

[B Rubble]

Hengest

[fifercore]

Thanks both. See you disagree as well!!

[muddlebrain]

the original spelling was henggist so I would go for hengist

Both are equally correct, in this case.

[fifercore]

Many thanks Simon-Bloom. It will be interesting to see which the compiler chooses (or if either will be acceptable).

In these circumstances I usually run a diagonal line across the square and will put I one side and E the other
