>> here are three more nonce(?) words to toss around<<
Nonce is a wonderful word--and while I have seen it currently defined as "one time" (or to define a word that has a single one time use), it has for years meant more than that to me... It is a word I learned so early, that it seems as if i always knew it. Shakespeare spoke of the three Nonces--(in macbeth, i think). In Celtic myth, the three nonces are swans, who carry yesterday, today and tomorrow on their backs.... None of the three know of each other, each sees only their view... they are not burdened, since yesterday, today and tomorrow are ephemeral.
