An ewt in a napron
Who newt that a newt used to be an ewt?
In English, the words newt, umpire, adder (snake), and apron used to be ewt, numpire, nadder, and napron respectively. But after so many years saying "an ewt", "a numpire," "a nadder" and "a napron," they slowly became "a newt", "an umpire", "an adder" and "an apron".[1]
