CSW Variant Spellings

**** Now amended for CSW19 ****

David Sutton

Introduction

This document seeks to provide a comprehensive selection of variant spelling

forms in CSW19, for words up to nine letters in length.

It is offered principally for linguistic interest, but may also ease at least
marginally the task of word learning by grouping the words into 'variant spelling'
sets. The following provisos should be noticed.

 only root forms are listed. It can normally be taken for granted that
inflections follow suit.
 only root forms with nine or fewer letters are included, except that if these
have variant spellings with more than nine letters, those longer spellings
are shown.
 it must be remembered that some variants may possess part of speech
properties not possessed by other variants of that form. For example, in
the case of ALARM/ALARUM/LARUM, ALARM and ALARUM are both noun
and verb, but LARUM is noun only. I have assumed that Scrabble players
serious enough to be interested in this document are likely to be aware of
such nuances, or prepared to research the matter further on their own
account. Similarly, some variant spelling may possess additional meanings
not shared by others e.g. HECKLE can mean to interrupt a speaker as well
as being a variant of HACKLE/HATCHEL, a kind of comb. I have not
attempted to indicate all possible meanings.
 this document restricts itself to variant spellings. It is not about words
unrelated by spelling which refer to the same thing. For example, KAAMA
is another name for the HARTBEES, HARTBEEST or HARTEBEEST, but you
won't find that here. But I have erred somewhat on the side of generosity
by including e.g. adjectival forms which are not strictly speaking variant
spellings but which differ only by ending and have the same or virtually
the same meaning e.g. LACTEAL/LACTEAN/LACTEOUS, which all mean,
more or less, 'milky'. I also include words which are essentially the same
word but which have acquired slightly different nuances of meaning e.g.
CAPTIVE, CAITIFF and CAITIVE, which all derive from Latin captivus, but
where the (obsolete) CAITIFF and CAITIVE carry a suggestion of baseness
absent from the modern form CAPTIVE.

I shall be glad to know of any errors or omissions.
