Well, i said it wasnt complete, dear David :). It was just what i had
thought of at that point.
Causative noun.....something that causes something to happen....
say we have a root that means destruction: GRR :)....so we have girure -
the thing/person that causes things to be detroyed :).
Not sure if i'll keep that or not though.
