I thought that Korean expresses "A and B" by "A gwa B" or "A wa B" (the choice of the form being conditioned by the form of A... I believe by whether it ends in a vowel or not?). The Latin construction, on the other hand, would be "A B-que". Those don't look like very similar constructions to me. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...> Watch the Reply-To!
