Talk:Cavell

A fine mess

 * 1) Tagged with Template:Dab
 * 2) Initial section is a prose history of one place so named
 * 3) Default resolution:
 * 4) presumption is equal Dabn (and i've no inclination to make a contrary case)
 * 5) Place content splits out to settled-place article, with a suffixed title
 * 6) Surname content splits out to a surname SIA, whose title is suffixed with "(surname)"
 * 7) Dab page gets the un-suffixed title per un-rebutted presumption of equal Dab'n
 * 8) If you want to contest the default choice, go for it via this talk page; but don't start reverting without a consensus on what topic should be primary. --Jerzy•t 08:01, 18 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Aw, hell: after a decade and a half of editing WP on a real computer, i have yet to get it straight in my head that i can't create new WP pages via this iPad 2.
 * But here is markup for a new page Cavell (town):
 * Cavell was originally the name of a township in East Riding of Yorkshire. Its meaning was taken from Old English 'Cafeld' meaning a 'field of jackdaws'.  In the Domesday Book, it is spelt in a Norman variant as 'Cheuede', but later developed into Cavil.  The Pipe Rolls record Thomas de Kauill in 1190 living in Yorkshire.  Robert de Cavilla appears in the Hundred Rolls of Lincolnshire the following century.  By the early modern period the name is also spelt Cavell and Cavill.  Modern American English variants include using 'cavel' meaning 'to mine'.
