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. ____________________________________________ Now i'm older and i feel like i could let some of this anger fade but it seems the surface i am scratching is the bed i have made....
