It's the sort of ingenious but rational trope that occurs in English only in poetry. It's splendid. I do very strongly disapprove of "le du'u" and (usually) "le nu", though. "loi du'u/nu" would be much better. --And. co'o mi'e xorxes _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
