"Slanted hyphen". Sometimes used in dictionaries to show syllable breaks in lieu of the MIDDLE DOT. There does not seem to be a Unicode character for it, though -- at least, I searched NameList in vain. -- John Cowan http://www.ccil.org/~cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To say that Bilbo's breath was taken away is no description at all. There are no words left to express his staggerment, since Men changed the language that they learned of elves in the days when all the world was wonderful. --The Hobbit
