Odd as this might sound and though it's not the symbology I personally would have chosen, as a programmer/analyst, representing the IPA "unadorned" sound "G" by "G\" (G {escape}) and the IPA bottom-looped "V" sound by "G" makes a disturbing kind of sense. As I don't normally drink alcohol or halucinogens/psychotropics, I must assume this comes from my spending far too many years in the same career. :) ____________________________________ Betra er berfættum en bókarlausum að vera.
