[sword-devel] Latin diacritics

Within Bibles at least, most if not all the words using "oe" or the ligature
"œ" are followed by either the letter "i" or the letter "u".

There are French words with other letters following, but less likely to be
found within a Biblical text.
e.g.

Œcuménisme    Ecumenism
Œdipe         Oedipus
Cœlacanthe    Coelacanth
Œnologie      Oenology
Œstrogène     Estrogen
Fœtus         Fetus

HT to DomCox for these examples.

Regards,

David
