Yes, that's correct. And I've found a BUNCH of other errors on the page. I'm rethinking some of the mutations to get more into gramtical mutations and less into spelling reforms. After all, it's the grammatical and lexical mutations that are the most interesting ones, and I'm finding the spelling reform mutations distracting. --gary ================= I don't find them too difficult, a bit distracting maybe, but to regularize the spelling is a Good Idea, I think, if the grammar is going to change significantly. I agree that the /x/ for /th/ is a bit weird (as someone mentioned earlier), but I'm used to it now (into Ch. 2). I have also found several errors, but I'll let you rework the system how you want it before I comment any more on them. :) James W.
