I think the right answer is some word for "stuffed" and then append > danfu for things like "teddy bear". How about “cribe krati”, as in “ersatz bear”? Unless we're talking taxidermy, the relevant property of a stuffed animal would not be its stuffing, but that it is shaped like an animal, yet isn't one. The fact that this could apply equally well to a porcelain sculpture of a bear as a teddy bear may be an advantage or a disadvantege, depending on your perspective. -- Arnt Richard Johansen http://arj.nvg.org/ This is a little known technical fact about the Internet: that the Internet is actually made up of words and enthusiasm. --Erin McKean
