Yes, I'm afraid it's not something I'm familiar with. I really should learn it.
Interesting, although "Alnwick" is pronounced a-nik, the town at the mouth of the river Aln, a few miles away, Alnmouth, is not "an-mouth" as one might logically expect, but "alun-mouth", and the river itself is also pronounced "Alun".
