I've been reading Sam Campbell. :-) Especially if you don't usually like
nature books, check out SamCampbell.com.
I can't find any examples of dachshund among my Web-Braille books, but the
dictionary shows the syllable break as dachs-hund; thus the s-h sign should
imho not be used.
I have one example of nuthatch. It must be from the Instructions for Braille
Transcribing because it has the syllables listed:
nut-hatch nuthatch
