Subject: RE: Help: Fine Flowers in the Valley-pronunciatio
That only leaves "twinned", which I spell with one "i" and pronounce to rhyme with "lined", but it can also have two, and so pronounced to rhyme with "sinned". Old Scots twyne (etc) from Middle English twinnen, to separate. Good luck with the song--hope this isn't too late for you.
