Not the modern word. It is derived from an obsolete word for "language", tho, altho I can't remember at the moment just what that word was. The modern word is _uasagga_ derived from _saga_ "to speak" -- "There's no such thing as 'cool'. Everyone's just a big dork or nerd, you just have to find people who are dorky the same way you are." - overheard ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
