a1646: Voodoo chile, Vaudun, Voudou (fwd)



From: J.David <Jedidiah@lyalls.net>

To my knowledge, most haytians do not SPELL the word voudou at all.
These are  differences of  french and american  english spellings.
There  is  no difference in the  pronunciation of southern american
'voodoo'  and kreyol  'voudou'. The english spelling could  just
as easily be 'vudu'.

Jimmy  Hendrix  spelled it "Voodoo Chile" as in,  child of voudou.
