Thelnetham and Whelnetham in Suffolk: early Christian sites?This article of mine is in the Journal of the English Place-Name Society, 52 (2020), 76–84. The abstract follows:
This paper examines the hypothesis that the names Thelnetham and Whelnetham have a common origin, with the first element starting Thw-. The two different phonological developments of this initial cluster exhibited in the place-names are shown to have several parallels. An even more speculative final section offers a possible etymon in a recorded term for a baptismal tank.
