All very well for Glasgow, which actually exists; and even a thick Brithenig accent is fairly conceivable. But what is (in English) a thick Uatakassi accent supposed to sound like? Still more, what does a thick Livagian accent sound like when speaking Hangkerimian? -- John Cowan <jcowan@...> http://www.reutershealth.com I amar prestar aen, han mathon ne nen, http://www.ccil.org/~cowan han mathon ne chae, a han noston ne 'wilith. --Galadriel, _LOTR:FOTR_
