5. cousin

Taking the -o-/-ou- variation as the operative feature, the evidence provided by the Paviers fails to confirm Willoughby's and Walker's suggestion that B preferred -o- forms over -ou- spellings. Of the nine (+J1) -ou- spellings in copy, B retains eight and changes only one (+J1). Of the eleven (+J3) -o- spellings in copy, B retains ten (+J3) and changes only one.
