I just discovered that Quinion covered this topic with the word Nihilartikel shortly after our original thread. - joe ( yes I did ) friday p.s. - I read elsewhere that esquivalience was inserted specifically to foil copying of the included CD-ROM. I don't know if this means it isn't in the b&m version. does anyone actually have the NOAD to hand?

I am bubbling this back up today (hi daleh!) having just reread Jorge Luis Borges's 1940 short story "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", thinking to myself 'this smacks of being a Nihilartikel'. link - joe (somebody turn off the bubble machine) friday
