John and all--
Thanx, John. My preference for AEST may have been colored somewhat by
an early experience when I kept IEST on my rack deliberately for 3 or 4 turns
with no good result. And Amit, sorry I deleted your post without thanking ya.

Stu, that's just what synergy is. EIST is a strong leave in part
because of -IEST endings. You shouldn't be too much more surprised by
this than by that ING is better than ANG or that QU is better than QO.
