It was amusing to see Steve Schwartz include Lord Berners' "bird-chirping-
sounding" real name Tyrwhitt in his interesting post on the eccentric, some
in England might say "balmy," composer.  I would just like to add "boffi"
(plural) is usually translated as "whiskers." Not that I have anything
against mustaches.
