Oh, come to think of it, can you tell us more about the G E S D ? And why they care about word puzzles? And maybe, if it isn't intruding, how you come to be involved :-) Top #102084 - 04/30/03 11:41 AM Re: that's debatable Faldage Carpal Tunnel Registered: 12/01/00 Posts: 13667 G E S D I'm involved only as a disinterested spectator. The question comes up as side effect of the fact that Inuktitut, and other related languages are polysynthetic (or whatever they're calling it these days) so do all the various words based on, e.g.,aput, i.e., 'snow (on ground)' aput (aput sisurtuq = avalanche) 'slush (on ground)' aput masannartuq , count as different words? Maybe we should ask the bookkeeper. Top #102085 - 04/30/03 08:07 PM Re: quick question lapsus linguae journeyman Registered: 09/11/00 Posts: 56 Loc: Sydney, Australia bookkeeping. Why do you ask?
