Additional Notes

If you look at the context in which the term ‘pyne’ is used, in association with tropical fruits such as orange, lemon, plantain, etc., the intent is to describe a pineapple (see Wikipedia description of pineapple). The term ‘pyne’ is used in these works to describe BOTH pine and pineapple. The meaning is clear only from context.
