Glad I could help, Marca.

Ignorance is indeed bliss at times. Until today, Pig Latin was only a phrase to me. I got the information about the suffix from Wiki, and got the unclued entries from playing with letters. Chambers defines Pig Latin as ' a secret language or jargon made up by children, especially one in which an initial consonant is transposed to the end of the word, followed by...' I read this as meaning there could be variations, so I didn't treat the 'initial consonant is transposed...' as obligatory!

I went with Chambers description, which is not prescriptive, and first entered letter moved to the end followed by the suffix gave the island. If it doesn’t fit the description exactly it is consistent. Fine by me.
