Ely etymology problem

The content you put in the etymology section for Ely a few years ago has a rather dubious claim from Mac Dowdy in that the word "eel" didn't exist when the place was named. The word ancestral to modern "eel", ǣl, in fact did exist in the Old English period. Also, the folk-etymological association with eels long predates Skeat, in fact Bede himself had heard of it and explains it explicitly in the Ecclesiastical History of the English People. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

Hi, thanks for reaching out about this. I honestly don't think I've done an amazing job at explaining it, but when I get a chance, im heading to the Cambridge Uni library to read his original work and expand a bit more.

While I think it is reasonable information to have on the Ely wiki page, I understand if you want to remove my edit while I read up on it.

Ta,
