Derivation Of "FIannel,~

Some of the earlier philOlogists
claim that the word "tlannel" was
originally wri:oen and pronounced
"fannen," and that it was essentially
of Welsh origin, being derived from
the Welsh "gwlanan," wool, but this
derivation is considered doubtful by
more modern photographers, who re-
gard its derivation from the Danish
''flanel," old French ''fanelle," or the
italian "hanella," as more probable.
