Tonight I am #CrossAtWords that are obscure or use alternate spellings in #crosswords.
ern - a sea eagle which is usually spelled erne
viand - archaic English for food, but my francophonic brain wants a final E again
anele - obsolete for anoint

adit - horizontal entrance to a mine, so perpendicular to a shaft
And I also learned that Adar is a month in the Jewish calendar.
