Ranella
It had indeed escaped our attention that
Ranella
and
Ranetta
were equivalent alternate spellings in
Garsault's 1764
work, and that a First Reviser decision was necessary to select the correct original spelling. We had erroneously attributed
Ranella
to
Garsault's 1767
work. We fully agree with the interpretation of
Dubois & Bour (2010)
in this point, who selected
Ranetta
acting as First Revisers.
