Anyway, enough of the semantics,I note that you haven't addressed my 3rd and perhaps most poignant cause of confusion which is incidentally, your diagram only appears to have four wires emanating from the motor winding, whereas my fan has five.

If I wire my fan up to the specifications of your diagram, where does the spare wire which is most probably live go. That's the $64,000 question.
