welki

9:22 am

72 Temple Owl

I'd never looked at the examples dictionary.com gives for the 3rd ta4/4 (4th ta4) before. They're pretty funny. (Five of them refer by name to the same person, and the rest are mostly not in English.)

11:50 am

hokie carla

I've decided over the years that dictionary.com is the worst

11:50 am

12:04 pm

hokie carla

the 7 is a plural of pl5/16

hokie carla

the 8 I guess is the superlative of that noun

12:05 pm

cybernan

hmm - don't have that either

12:05 pm

penquis

the PL 7...is a superlative....builds on an unlikey pl 4....

6:46 pm

penquis

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl
