Thanks for replying.

Thank you mmogno! That's a great help.

I wondered if you might be able to help me with another word I keep seeing. The name of the person followed by the word Romola. Can you help?

Thanks mmogno! How do you interpret Catterina to Caterina by the word Romola? How does Romola change the name?
