Sorry - Édimbourg or Pékin - I need to retype my list of ALT + numbers
in a larger font, the eyes aren't as good as they were! And yes, I do
know that accents are not essential on capitals.

Why insert a letter m for the French? That's more likely to appear in
English pronunciation. In French, the sound before the b is a nasal
vowel, with the lips not closing till the b.
