Re: Blondie
Not simply two spellings, but two different words derived frome the same one and differently specialised: the word "fisiognomia", from greek, at a certain moment turned into "fisionomia" (as normal in italian, due to the medieval transformation of the pronounce of group gn from [g-n], like Wagner, to [?], like spanish se?or) and indicated both appearance and the pseudo-science consisting in the assessment of a person's character or personality from their outer appearance, especially the face (see the page linked in my precedent post); then students began to use for this second meaning the derivative and etymologically recovered noun "fisiognomica", whereas "fisionomia" is specialised for the first, more common, meaning. In english, I controlled now, the word "physiognomy" is polysemic
Re: Blondie
Fascinating.
We had a similar problem in English with Attic Greek consonantal
groups like 'gks' -'sphigks' [as near as I can render it!] became
'sphinx', for example; but the 'ph' pair, rendered in AG as separate
voiced sounds, roughly 'puh'heh' [plosive/aspirate?], was
substituted with a simple 'ph= f' sound and the softening 'n'.

Re: Blondie
This Blondie is now Blondie (6).
I've also added Triple X 13 to her list for the next update, but this may be yet another girl. However, I've added caps from Triple X 13 to that gallery for the moment.
Any thoughts?
