 poet which later moved into Chile, and helped Bolívar around 1810;
 this orthographic change seems to be directly opposite!)

Oho!  Thanks! The name of Andrés Bello was in my mind, but I wasn't sure.
_Funes_ could well be my source for this info, tho I'm pretty sure I've run
into it elsewhere too.  Thank God my memory is not as good as poor Funes'.
