Checking back on your post, you said "Syllables are V, CV, VC or CVC, or n multiple syllables words, (C)V(C)CV (if two consonants occur in sequence they must be a nasal then a homogenous stop". So, VNC and CVNC are invalid, thus giving *my* calculation of 147 (3+18+18+108). Unless you're changing around the syllable-structure, your calculations are in error. -- "If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
