It's hard to see how, if _dog_ is from _gudaga_, hard to see where the /n/ came from, unless it was an infix or something? Speaking of which, the ENGLISH word "dog" is of mysterious origin. Maybe a psychic connection with Aborigines? ;-) -- Oh Lord, grant that we may always be right, for thou knowest we will never change our mind. - Scots Prayer http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files/ http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html
