Note 40 — Chapter VIII · ALFRED IN SOMERSET BEYOND PEDRIDA

Reading edition

The West Saxon form of this name was Wine, but I write it Wina, as also I adopt the Latin form Ina, in place of the genuine Ine, lest the English reader should allow it to pass through his mind in the shape of a monosyllable. The Anglian forms of these names (in Bede) are Ini and Wini.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
