lughbe' 'e' vItul. I received mine a week and a half ago, and I'm in 
Australia. I would have thought I'd be one of the last to get mine. :)

The list *has* slowed quite a bit, hasn't it? Never mind. While I can't 
think of any issues immediately arising from these {law'/rap}, {law'/nIb} 
and {law'/law'} constructions that might bear discussion (they're pretty 
comprehensively explained in that issue), I did take the opportunity to 
write a paper for HolQeD about the connection of the comparative 
constructions to the {no' Hol} OSV word order. If Lawrence accepts, you'll 
read about it in the next issue of HolQeD!

>{vIl} "be ridgy"

And it's about time, too! {{:) For my mind, {tlher} describes a semisolid 
substance with chunks of more solid substance within it - definitely a food 
term. Custard, maybe (or is it just the way I make custard?)

Savan.
