Some very amusing comments in the past few posts.

One thing I have noticed on my mother's side of the family is how they tend to turn the "an" word into "a".

"Would you like a napple or a norange?"

I sometimes wonder when and how I realised that over a quarter of words didn't begin with "n".

... but norange is etymologically correct!

It derives from Arabic naranj, Persian narang. The initial n in French and English was absorbed in the indefinite article - une narange ; a norange. And in Spanish - it is still - naranja ...

The same thing happened to adder - originally [Anglo-Saxon] nædre, [ Middle English]naddre ; a nadder - an adder

It worked the other way with newt originally an ewt, an evet, an eft
