I don't understand what you mean by "mortification". Taken literally, "mortification" means "to kill", or "to make deathlike"; it used to be used to describe gangrene. Metaphorically, it means rendering powerless, often by humiliation. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/mortification Do you mean "torment" or "desecration"? I'm pretty sure not, since Lu is a god of desecration, while Ki is a god of torment (I think). OTOH, Ma basically desecrates life itself... OK, thesaurus time... http://thesaurus.com/browse/desecration Wow, this is a great thesaurus. I haven't used it before. So many possibilities... Too many. I'd like to know better what you mean when you say "mortification" -- maybe I'll admit you have the meaning right :-). -Wm ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ EditLive Enterprise is the world's most technically advanced content authoring tool.
