Nice word. You can see the 'two/twain/(be)tween in there. I also noticed
there was a 'vennel' in there, and English word I didn't know existed
but I do know the French one 'venelle' which means much the same thing
and, in fact, there is a town nearby called 'Venelles' no doubt because
of its narrow streets.
