ROTFLMAO. I wonder if any NatLangs have ever had that distinction. I would not be the least surprised if ancient Cantonese did ::BiG TooTHY GRiNNie:: ... and perhaps the least-civilized, most-despised "Chinese tribe", the Nung [who now live in-&-control the Opium Triangle (Laos,Thailand, Burma)] , just may have had such distinction as recently as 2 centuries ago (or mayhaps even less). --- Hanuman Zhang (aka "Z") WOG (Wiley Oriental Gentleman ;) Avatar of Sun WuKong, a.k.a _Ma-Lau_ ("Monkey") a.k.a.
