I resent that. ;) I love that book. I've read it twice through now. I've read LotR three times, and I'm reading The Hobbit for the third time, and only now do I realize what a child's book it is. The Silmarillion was amazing. That was one of the things that caused me to look so deeply into his other languages (http://www.ardalambion.com/). I've got the "Lost Tales" book with the copy of the etymologies in it, which is cool. I'm actually developing a language for a storyline I'm working on, so it comes in handy to bask in the greatness of a linguist since I'm not one myself (which I wish I was). I'm just a bit of a Tolkien nut, it seems. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
