"the obsolete past tense, third person, of
the verb "ouïr", ("to hear"), "
..the verb used by that wonderful character, Achille Talon in a phrase which
a french friend of mine had as the message on his answering machine:
"J''ouis avec un enivrement sans bornes que vous parlez allegrement la
langue qui berca jusqu'hier un passé qui me parait indiciblement
lointain.....je
repands sous vos pas mes hommages emus....."
(apologies for the lack of accents)
Cheers,
