Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1032 Loc: Lancaster, UK	OK, I've got three takers, now - and where two or three are gathered together ... So: what do you make of INCUNABULUM PM your answers to me by 12 noon (EST) on Sunday 27 November (That'll be 5 pm for me - just before my bed time. ) _________________________ I'm immortal until proven otherwise

Rhubarb Commando old hand Registered: 11/13/11 Posts: 1032 Loc: Lancaster, UK	Yup. Straight out of the OED, no less. It is, of course, a Latin loan word, like so many in our language but has been in use for some time. EDIT: The latin word from which it derives means something rather different from its "English" meaning, BTW. So those of you with a Classical education don't really have much of an advantage, pehaps?
