Have a look at "Uncleftish Beholding" by Poul Anderson (quoted e.g. at http://www.grijalvo.com/Citas/Peculiar_English.htm ) for an example of such a beast. I found it moderately hard to read, and knew I not German, it had been even harder. As for English that has much more Greek put into it, see the two speeches by Prof. Zolotas quoted further down on that page. Cheers, -- Philip Newton <philip.newton@...>
