Or perhaps "de l'êtinque"? But prefixing "e" to "st" words is a dead rule in French, although it was obviously alive in the past. Looking through a list of French medical terms, I find stabilisation, stase, statistique, stéatorrhée, stéatose, sténose, stérilisation, stérilité, stéroïde, stimulant, stomatite, stress, strie, struma, stupeur. All of the Spanish equivalents would surely have "est-". -- Schlingt dreifach einen Kreis um dies! || John Cowan <jcowan@...> Schliesst euer Aug vor heiliger Schau, || http://www.reutershealth.com Denn er genoss vom Honig-Tau, || http://www.ccil.org/~cowan Und trank die Milch vom Paradies. -- Coleridge (tr.
