This is an interesting group with no obvious winner. Lots of pairs: pair of Italian-sounding Argentines, pair of Garden Staters, pair of south Germans, pair of Belgians.


I’m going to give the ñöđ to Jan Sælid, as a representative of all the typographical anomalies that I’ve encountered thus far. Twenty-six unadorned letters is too few to encompass the florid overabundance of people and places that need names.
