Not new, not invented; as I said, already in use in French, German, and Dutch. By analogy with "diaphoneme", presumably; an abstract representation which can equally well (or nearly so) any of a variety of chosen scripts. -- John Cowan [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.reutershealth.com www.ccil.org/~cowan Original line from The Warrior's Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold: "Only on Barrayar would pulling a loaded needler start a stampede toward one." English-to-Russian-to-English mangling thereof: "Only on Barrayar you risk to lose support instead of finding it when you threat with the charged weapon."
