What a lovely word! ('Webster's' also gives 'epanaphora').
Er, but I don't think I see one in the thread. Clue me in? At any rate, it wouldn't be here on the board -- no one's speaking.

Oh, well, I think of adverbs like here, there, and yonder as being so tightly coupled with the grammatical category of person (i.e., here by me, there by you, and yonder by her) that I chose anaphora when, perhaps, I should have typed deixis. Caught me out; keep up the good work. I just meant that it's hard to determine what here refered to in the sentence. Besides epanaphora, there's also cataphora.

In NZ, the usual IT usage is "S-Q-L". In Britain, it's "Sequel". Took me a while to adapt, particularly since I am using PL/SQL - Oracle. Ber-loody data warehouses!
And, BTW, I would say "a NZ", because I think of it as "a New Zealand" even though I may have abbreviated the words in writing ...
