Hee hee.

I've never worked out swear words either, but the word _sutaigagudialá_ (roughly "pervert" or "fornicator") would probably serve in that function. _Sunagagudí_ would probably also be an acceptable variant. The first is based on the noun _gagudialá_ (literally "wrongful mating"), and the second on the cognate verb _gagudí_ (literally "wrongfully mate"). Perhaps _kugaguditlífin!_ ("Fornicate with yourself!") might be an appropriate curse. ;-) -- Dievas dave dantis; Dievas duos duonos God gave teeth; God will give bread - Lithuanian proverb ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
