begins to reform, as in "The ends of the bone fracture are knitting together." Also, can this be used to refer to a spider's (or squadron of Tholian ships') web building?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

If so, I know some Pagan friends who worship the Fates Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos who will be elated at the news that they can name their favourite deities {<b>San nIqwI'pu'</b>}.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
