I checked with the lady (her name is Echo!) and she confirmed the Scots background and that she has "great quantities" of brown hair, and that she's very happy with that translation!! (Said she's glad to know that he wasn't calling her a "fool" or "idiot". BTW, the guy is deceased, so she can't ask him as someone suggested.

I'd checked my membership yesterday and was told that Mudcat had it, but I didn't reset the cookie as I wasn't sure I remembered the password. I asked them to email it to me but it got caught in my SpamBlocker. I think it's taken care of now, or will be soon. Thanks for the advice.
