I think that "spelt" or "spellt" was the accepted version before they tried to standardize the English language and started using -ed for past tense.Also, just so you know, "hoped" was the past tense of "help" in some places. In several isolated parts of this country, it is still used.Michelle

We use spelt here instead of spelledSpelled looks really strange and wrong to me. We also say spoilt instead of spoiled.

Properly, we Americans use -ed, but I often use -t 'cause I think it looks nicer, for I've grown up reading King James English and Tolkein. Sometimes it takes me a minute to adjust to speaking Modern English! Quite regularly I find that SpellCheck throws a fit over my random mixture of American, British, and Old English.

It's more commonly spelled Kaden? (found a meaning-- companion) and it's definitely Arabic. I have found it in numerous places including a baby naming book.Mostly, I need to know HOW to pronounce it (in Arabic) Anywhere you can send me?Thanks!
