ACADEMY OF SAINT GABRIEL REPORT 2443

From:  (Josh Mittleman)


Greetings from the Academy of Saint Gabriel!

You asked for some further details about your 16th century Swedish name
beyond the report we wrote a few months ago [1].  Here is what we have
found.

You asked for pronunciations of several names; here are our best guesses:

  Kadrin     \KAH-drin\
  Mariet     \MAR-yet\
  Bireta     \bih-RET-tah\
  Marit      \MAR-it\
  Birgitta   \beer-GIT-tah\

You also asked us to suggest some more surnames, and you told us you prefer
to use a locative surname appropriate for a woman living in Sweden near the
modern Finnish border.  Unfortunately, we have found no further information
to offer you.  If you find a place that you'd like to use as the basis for
your surname, we can probably suggest the appropriate form for the
corresponding surname.


We hope this letter has been useful.  Please write us again if any part of
it has been unclear or if you have other questions.  I was assisted in
researching and writing this letter by Talan Gwynek and Aryanhwy merch
Catmael.

For the Academy,


  Arval Benicoeur
