This occurred to me today:   When I see the word duman, I automatically 
think, oh, a typographical error.   Maybe you could call them something else?   
Maybe a word that means gray, or even something made up like grisling (g r 
i s l i n g).   Making them gold instead of gray would be okay, but I'm not 
sure it's necessary. (One woman's opinion)
