The name, "Miguel Amaya," appeared in The Boston Globe. So, it appears
that both "A_m_aya" and "A_n_aya" are legitimate Spanish names.

Also in today's Globe, in the comic strip, Doonesbury, the  term,
"first shirt" = "first sergeant" appears in print.

All say, "How hard it is that we have to die"---a strange complaint to
come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
