nope, it's a sequence of words in my conlang Finvaran, meaning, roughly,
"language woman":
togo-na kamane
language-adj person.fem
(the suffix na makes a noun into a nominal adjective.)
I thought I'd said so in my first post under this name, but either you missed
or it something wacky happened in the sending.
[my former email address was estelachan@aol.com... I moved all my linguistics
stuff to this address due to the volume on the list.]
speaking of list volume... AOL mailboxes have a fairly reasonable 1000
message storage limit. Between the 4th and 15th, when I didn't happen to
check this screenname's email, I received 1000 emails, and therefore missed
basically all the messages between sometime on the 15th and sometime early
this morning. Now, since I can only assume such ungodly amounts of mail are
going to continue to fly about, I have a few questions:
1) how can I catch up on the messages I missed? If on egroups, what's the
group name there?
2) what command do I send to listserv to get daily (hourly? the timing
doesn't matter much, though weekly is too far apart) digests? IS there one?
luckily, I got a few mails just now after reading some, so I know I wasn't
bouncing long enough to get zapped for it.
thanks!
