My etymology notes in the dictionary seem to favor 'e'. Of course it also says that an ermine is a 'stoat', from ME 'stote'. #predisposed You are grasping for a concept, but I'm not sure how it differs from 'innate'. There seems to be some sense that an innate ACTION is something different than an innate STATE or PROPERTY, but I'm not sure what it is. Some modifiers that may be helpful might include cnano, rarna, no'e xlura tarti (is a predisposition a behavior or can it result in a single type of action - i.e. are lemmings jumping off a cliff a predisposition in the sense you want - it is NOT something that thet do all the time as a general pattern of behavior. Hmm. Maybe it is a rarna xlura or a jinzi xlura, which suggest that such an inclination can be overcome. lojbab
