[edit] Unreferenced

We don't have any specific sources for this article, and some of the statements seem either POV or misguided. Who's to say whether the apostrophe in some words is "apologetic" or simply used for diaresis-type reasons? Gien might be pronounced Gyne or Geen, when it should be Gee-en (please forgive my perception of Scots vowel, if I am misunderstood). At this moment, we simply don't know. Please add proper citations. -- Boothman Talk 19:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
