I'm sure our experts will have no trouble with this. :-) The closest suggestion so far is necrohipposadism, which is rather distant from what we want. I got as far as (((morsi xirma) (grasu stuzi)) darxi but I don't know the connectives or the tenses well enough to finish it. I believe we want a tense for "was but has not been for some time". -- Edward Cherlin, President Help outlaw Spam by supporting Rep.
