I'm really not curious about the word, and I don't have that particular book of Bridget's (I don't think) but why doesn't someone ask Bridget what it means in reference to her use in her book? ;&nbs p; ;&nbs p;&nb sp;&n bsp;

Hi Adele, Patty, Bev and Lorelei. Thanks a lot for your help. Although there wasn't a complete solution for the translation of the word, your opinions have taken me to search a bit further. And now I know (surfing the Internet) that the Slovenian word "slin" means "saliva" (same in English, Italia
