In reply to:

And, come to think of it, why are deltas called deltas in the first place? The mud seems to slide out on three, not four sides. Why aren't they called "gammas"?


The original river delta was the Nile delta, which, especially if viewed from Max's orientation, looks like the Greek letter.

You're more interested in depriving me of the last word than having the last word for yourself.
Hmmmm. I can see there is more to this compulsion than meets the eye.

I'll tell you what, Wordminstrel. If I can come up with a grander title for your affliction, will you leave me alone? You can become an Alphatar and blaze a new trail on your own thread.

Alphatar [thinking about it]. So what's my new diagnosis, Plutarch?

You are suffering from omegamania, Wordminstrel. That makes you an omegamaniac. You are a giant amongst omega pygmies.

Does that mean you will go away and leave "the last word" to me?
