Some of the small ones are a bit tricky in Azed & there is a good EV.

I would like to find out how capon (castrated cock) came to mean a love-letter" by Shakespeare's time:seems very paradoxical! So far have only learned the French word "poulet" has the same meaning. Any more learned scholars out there?
