Peter--

    Thanks for the Linguist quotes. The information re Scotland certainly

clarifies things. Do folks in Houston also pronounce Sam's name without th e

/h/? (Overall, it's part of the long "drift" to delete /h/ before resonants/

glides: hr, hl, most recently hw, and now hy. It is bound to happen.)
