Re: Sounds like...

Hi John,

without cheating I answered:

clasant    pink
sayl       yellow
sint       black
lath       blue-green
yev        green
sharf      white
plenin     purple
murud      brown
celif      red
sharday    blue

I was absolutely sure that murud had to be brown, all the others are less obvious to me.

(My mother tongue is German, and German colour term "braun" = brown sounds nearly
like english, so that's not the influence)

John, do you do a statistics? That's a real nice field for language psychology...
