[snip] Perhaps in Ciardi's sense of humor--yes. It was so long ago that i barely recall how he defined "klmnop"... He pronounced it kelamenopee and said something about it being in the middle between somthing (like the letters do in the alphabet). I recall he had a lot of other parts to the use/definition and of all the Ciardi programs i listend to this is the only one that i can still remember well after 20+ years!!
