It's short, as word lists go, and I thought yorley might be interested. Some of the words indicate a direct link with English; others, not. I was quite amused by one of the def.'s of the last word! http://www.lareau.org/pitlang3.html Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Re: Hi, yorley #91427 01/10/03 02:05 PM Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 W wwh Carpal Tunnel wwh Carpal Tunnel W Joined: Jan 2001 Posts: 13,858 Dear Jackie: I had wondered for years about the breadfruit project, whether it had been a realistic project, since I had never heard breadfruit mentioned except in relation to the Bounty and the mutiny. I found a site which says that Captain Bligh made a second voyage to Tahiti, got more breadfruit plants, and delivered them to the Caribbean. Though they were indeed a valuable source of food, the slaves refused to eat them. But they are used today, though not a principal item of diet. Here is a URL about it: http://mo.essortment.com/whatisbreadf_rcwh.htm Copy Link to Clipboard Share Post on Facebook Share Post on Twitter Moderated by  Jackie  Hop To General Topics ------  Information and announcements  Q&A about words  Wordplay and fun  Words and languages in schools  Miscellany  Weekly Themes  Looking for (writers, speakers,...
