At the risk of splitting hairs a split hare is only half a stew.

A milner is someone who works a mill (used to be commonly miln).

A milliner makes hats, sells things from Milan. Faenza is in Italy. A
fiance is someone we trust.

Majorca is the Castilian for Mallorca. Should we credit the Catalans by
calling it Mallolica?

A girl walked into a bar and asked the barman for a double entendre. So he
gave her one.

That's language; worth thinking about, but not too much.
