Yes, apparently as Kim also found out (below Sandi's message, traème is the French word for the 2-dot accent mark we call an umlaut. That explains why I found naive spelled that way when I googled; I was very confused and thought maybe I'd been misled by a Wikipedia mistake. But once certainly can't argue with Oxford and Meriam-Webster. I learnnew things every day (naif a9noun, but apparently also an adjective according to something I found on line) is spelled he same way.
