The normal spelling of this word is "gin". Dadge (talk) 01:19, 22 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Agree - the OED doesn't even give "gyn" as a word. It's etymology for "gin" shows "gyn" as an obsolete (1500's) variant spelling. On-line dictionaries invariably define "gyn" as short for gynecologist. This article should be editted to use the "gin" spelling, showing "gyn" as a variant. The article title should be similarly updated. (and the reference "Bell's Gyn" should be corrected to use the "gin" spelling, since that's how it's spelled in that reference).  Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:589:300:c7c0:4ca8:7e8a:e16c:dd82 (talk) 15:28, 14 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
