Oops! On the very moment I pushed the Send-button, I realized I made a terrible
mistake.

--- I wrote, much too hastily:

> Hattic: "sum ha sum sõs zuf"
, thereby completely forgetting that Hattic has a dual! Did I spend so much time, hard work and painful efforts only to forget about it in critical moments? Therefore, "1+1=2" ought to be: "Sum ha sum ašdaf zuf". When there are more than two numbers involved, it will be a normal plural: "Hedre cha bãh cha sem sõs sfešazã" (4+5+7=16) Jan ===== "Originality is the art of concealing your source." - Franklin P.
