使用する際の注意点

• Although a form *wheul, *whewel /hwɛu̯l/, /ˈhwɛu̯əl/ deriving from Old English hweowol (or possibly hweogol, with a development of /ɣ/ to /w/ that is uncommon but not without parallel in this context) is not directly attested, it is implied by forms such as Kentish Middle English plural whewelen, Whywelton, a variant of Whelton (“Whilton, Northamptonshire”), and the modern English surname Whewell.
