    wow-cool idea.. truly amazing how one word-is really not one word at all but has a whole history behind each of its morphographs. i need to spend more time reading the dictionary so that I can expand my understanding of words..words can be so limiting in their meaning-yet the more of them of them that you learn the better your expression can be..
