- Well, this is an "external" gap, as opposed to an "internal" gap in the language... and it's fixed now, anyway. But i like saying about how Rokbeigalmki existed for around 3 years before i came up with a word for "sibling" (_ro.ijh_), but for most of that time it did have a word for "multitudinous" (_sudtarme_)! -Stephen (Steg) "do not wake love before it is ready."
