A Note About Accents and Wicc’yeth
One or two of the villagers have a Cockney accent indicated by the missing ‘h’ at the beginning of words such as ‘hello’ becoming ‘’ello’. There are also Cornish characters whose accents have been rendered as closely as possible using English spelling conventions.
Wicc’yeth, is a magical language peculiar to the world of Amanda Cadabra. If you are curious about the meaning of individual spell words, you will find a glossary at http://amandacadabra.com/wiccyeth/ and Amelia’s Glossary with Pronunciation.
