Hm, just going through my old mail... I wonder whether that house belongs to two ladies called Kassiopeia and Penelope?

In Verdurian, <casi> /"kasi/ means "helmet (nom.sg.)" or "corner (acc.pl.)"; <casî> /"kasI/ means "helmet (nom.pl.)" or "corner (nom.pl.)". In Barakhinei, <kasi> /"kasi/ means "helmet (nom./acc. sg.)". In Cadhinor (ancestor of Verdurian and Barakhinei), <casi> means "corner (acc.pl.)". Cheers, Philip -- Philip Newton <Philip.Newton@...>
