[Alain] In "8endake", the "Huron village" (6 or 7 km from my home) lives
the "8endat" nation (you write "wyandot" in English, where the French
Jesuites wrote "8endat" [i.e. "wendat"]. "8endat" = "Huron" indeed).

PS the "8' is a Greek ligature, in fact an u (psilon) on top of an o
(omicron), so "8" is an abuse, the character is completely open on its top.
The actual character is encoded in Unicode/UCS. The "8endat" language also
uses a Greek theta in addition to the usual Latin letters...
