Hi all,

Dumbledore, also spelled dumbledor, which means a bumblebee, should
use the ble sign.

At least I think Dictionary.com is trying to tell me that it means
bumblebee. Its output has gotten pretty confusing lately at least in
Lynx.  dumbledore should be handled the same.

I'm not providing Web-Braille examples because they all come from the
Harry Potter series. Though some of those were translated by NLS and
some by NBP it still potentially means very few translators which
diminishes the force of such examples. Besides, it's pretty obvious
that tumbleweed and Dumbledore should be handled the same.

HTH,
