The task you're doing can be done to any concept pretty much�however you see
fit. If "rain" is "sky + water", perhaps "sky" is�"up + air". All of this,
however, will depend upon the frame of�mind one is examining the lexicon from
(as well as the lexicon�itself). There is no "split" that will be true for
all people or all�languages.��What's this for? Why does "love" need to be
split up? Here are�some possible splits for love:��desire +
empathy�desire + care�eros + jealousy�fear + compassion��I can come
up with an argument for pretty much anything. (Not�that I agree with any of
them.)��-David�*******************************************************************�"sunly
