Aha. Thanks to all who responded. You'd think I should have remembered _leat_ being 'to you' since it was less than a month since Nik Taylor posted a summary of the inflected prepositions. :P And I know _o_ is 'of' in Middle Welsh, and 'of' isn't too far from 'from', is it? :) Well, back to watching the Ahtletics World Championship. Us Swedes are doing mighty fine, aren't we? :) Daniel Andreasson
