Sorry SuStel, I think you've got me wrong, I was using a type 4 noun suffix
to insult someone, but in an earlier post ghunchu'wI' had specified that
using it in a comical sence was O.K., I was confused that it could not be
used as a insult. I never made any attempt to talk about eyebrows scattered
all about which are capable of using language, thus you meant not me 'twas
another.
