Doubling l.
Worcester and the English dictionaries double a final _l_ in all cases
when a syllable is added, Webster, the Century, and the Standard only
when the rule requires it. Thus: wool---woollen, Jewel---jewelled,
travel---traveller.

spell _re_, while Webster, the Century, and the Standard prefer
_er:_Calibre, centre, litre, lustre, man?euvre (I. maneuver), meagre,

sombre, spectre, theatre, zaffre,{.}
