saanichcat

hi everyone! co 8 is a ridiculous nonword.It's a gerund, in case you don't have it!

11:48 am

cybernan

good morning saanich - don't have it and can't see it

11:48 am

cybernan

have the 7 and the 9

11:50 am

cybernan

oh - found it - I guess in only applies if you are on a farm

11:51 am

cybernan

guess the remaining 8 is either aother gerund or a comparative

11:52 am

MollyL

I agree with Saan. Another Aussie made up word. Like Arvo.

11:53 am

MollyL

Not a gerund, not a comparitive. But another ridiculous word

11:57 am

cybernan

co 8 is Aussie? I thought the root was American. what are the stats for the final ridiculous word ?

11:59 am

MollyL

You are thinking of a pig call that starts with S

11:59 am

cybernan

can also start with co

12:00 pm

cybernan

have never heard the pig call beginning with an s

12:00 pm

MollyL

Nope. The co is the Aussie greeting.

12:01 pm

cybernan

obviously British and Canadian as well

12:01 pm

MollyL

Look them up Nan. Even Google says the co is the Aussie greeting and the so is the pig call.

12:08 pm

cybernan

stats for the remaining 8 please?

12:17 pm

MollyL

varumba

got 1 Co8 and it's the present verb ending of an aimal cry

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

varumba

and Co9 is a male name + present verb ending

4:02 pm

MollyL

Aarrgh. Co8 is not an animal cry. It is an Aussie greeting. The animal call starts with So

4:02 pm

periwinkle

what is a present verb ending

4:02 pm

varumba

verb ending in the present tense

4:03 pm

MollyL

4:20 pm
