Notes
The general word, and the one a naturalist uses. Some sorts take readily to a dark cellar and are grown in quantity; others have never been persuaded, and nobody finds either fact worth remarking on. It descends from the Oelwy’s own name, the particular having broadened into the general so long ago that no speaker hears the connection.
