<br>Has anyone ever heard of "crryhe" or "marmottao"?  I can't find them in dictionaries.   The spelling of the former looks
<br>very odd, but I can't figure out what kind of typo this could be.
<br>
<br>How about
<br>        c rry he   <==  c he rry  ==  cherry    ?
<br>It's a peculiar sort of transposition in the size of the units, but that's certainly a well-established kind of typo!
<br>
<br>Do the Bonin Islands have cherry trees, or rather something that a European could plausibly call cherries? That would
<br>certainly be evidence for this as a typo.
