...and did you catch all those other less-common words?pibroch
grat (as in "mithers grat when they marched away")
and all, and all Oh, the words! It's because I never heeded the words that I came to this redoubtable confession of loving bagpipe parades.  ( can't do no harm to take a closer look now, hm?)

Kiwa hirsuta
I picked up on the etymology right away. 'Te Moananui a Kiwa/Kiva' or 'the great ocean of kiwa', is commonly known amongst maori and polynesian as the pacific ocean. Kiva was a legendary navigator.

[Stupid smile] but Branny you are fine by me too. Late reaction: you're fine by me too in spite of a stupid smile and being overproportionedly romantic. And thanks for your kind vote.
