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
