[QUOTE="Bronwen, post: 1828399, member: 5833"]The way they are on cord rather then a modern bead stringing material also suggests trade beads, although of course no guarantee by itself. There are so many perfectly pronounceable combinations of letters we don't use at all, how we end up with so many homonyms, wound/wound, wind/wind, seems like sheer laziness & failure of invention. Anyone know if these are more common in English than in other languages? Or does it just seem that way?[/QUOTE]
