All those that we’ve covered so far can be found here, as we work our way through the list.

Oh, and David Knight hopes to return to custom illustrating them again soon! Watch this space.

Nammet has been covered already and I think Mallyshag is coming up very soon. We’re both working out way through the lists (which are very long!) Amazing how many IW words there are.

I’m an Overner-Dad was born on the Mainland-and I have an I o Wight dictionary, and tried mallyshag to see if I could outsmart Google. No chance!
“Emigrated” fifty-two years ago, as there was no work after Saunders-Roe shut.
Will keep an eye on Ventnorblog.
