- Whiles ye can find it written River Dune in some aulder texts, e.g. The New Staistical Account of Scotland: pt.1-2 Ayr, Bute, but that aulder spellin for vouel 7 wad juist confirm it haes an 'ui' pronunciation raither than a 'oo /u/' ane. Ay, Burns uised Doon, and rhymed it wi soon follaein English spellin conventions. Them anes for ordinar bein uised on maps. O coorse, acause o the pouer o English spellin fowk likely nou juist pronoonces it like in English /dun/ raither than the Scots /døn, dɪn/. If ye're sweirt tae spell in a wey that pits ower the Scots pronunciation ye coud aye mention ion the page hou its pronounced tae rhyme wi wirds like muin and abuin. ~~~ Nogger (tauk) 22:59, 23 Januar 2023 (UTC)
