yes thank you nancy-- and did any one look at the word?

itch and scratch are linked as love and marriage.. and itch, itch is pruitus.. which also gives us pruient.. which is the latin for itch.. to itch, to long for, to be lecherous.. from the latin to burn..

and to scratch.. it to statisfy the itch.. to have some scratch, is to have the means to satisfy an itch.. my oh my.. itchy palms anyone? you might be coming into money..

and other itches? or does any have an itch? (and do we want to know!)

Amy Tan, in her first book, (the woman warrior(?))pointed out that the chinese word for itch has the same prurient connotations.. does this hold true for other languages?
