Talk:seneschal

Help with correction needed

I am new to Wikitionary, so I am a bit confused about editing and redirects with the code used in this project. Some assistance is needed.

Currently, this article reads: « ... from Old French senechal », which is not correct. The orthography of the modern English word is direct and unchanged from Old French, where it was spelled: « seneschal » (with two "S"s) as in modern English. Source: Greimas, Algirdas Julien & Keane, Teresa Mary (2001), Dictionnaire du moyen français, première édition 1992, Paris: Larousse-Bordas/HER, p. 584 : seneschal n.m. (XIe s.) [11th century].

Of course, the modern French orthography « sénéchal » is correct. The orthographic reform which added the accent aigu made the second "s" in the Old French word superfluous.

Please make the appropriate change so it reads: « ... from Old French seneschal » Thank you. Charvex 08:02, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
