4:21 am

rubyfoo

yes, and the irish name....

4:21 am

MollyL

Well then there are only two consonants you can add to make a plural

4:22 am

MollyL

*Note I did not mention a double consonant

4:23 am

rubyfoo

phew, ty for the 8 aand 9

4:23 am

rubyfoo

I didn't try that one

4:24 am

MollyL

I would have said to do a Google search on hog-nosed skunk, but those entries all end in us

4:25 am

zoozzoom

Alas my time is up for playing babble for now. Nice to see you all. Bye for now.

4:26 am

got it thanks. good clue

10:02 am

EvaNadine

yes, i bought the guardrail to convert it to a toddler bed.
i couldve also bought the conversion kit to make it a full, but i doubt we will actually do that, so i opted against that.

10:03 am

mael

we have toddler rails for both cribs and it looks like we're about to have to put them on our girl's bed. She's trying to climb out. One more inch in height and she'll tumble out in the middle of the night

10:03 am

mael

now the problem is going to be getting her to stay in there

10:04 am

mael

I'll get them a full bed when the time comes, I think you made the right call there

10:06 am

EvaNadine

thats what i was thinking. :)

cybernan

an Nahuatl is what race from what continent?

3:38 pm

MollyL

Aztec word for us plebeians. It is a hog nosed skunk.
Sure.

3:41 pm

cybernan

and there is no English word for a hog nosed skunk?

3:42 pm

cybernan

guess I shouldn't be surprised --- whoever created enable is not well grounded in the English language ( suspect it is the same committee that made the camel)

3:51 pm

cybernan

ta 6 please?

3:52 pm

MollyL

It's like tenrec, nene and inia. Those oddball Enable list makers are enthralled with strange, unfamiliar to most, animals. People think they come off as "intellectual" when they spout words like that. Um...no.

7:11 pm

dcseain

the co8 is a type of animal similar to a skunk native to the SW US and Mexico.

7:18 pm

Nef

I've never heard of it, dc; I searched for a picture of 1 & they really don't look too much different from a regular skunk (in the pictures I saw, anyway)

7:22 pm

dcseain

the co8 is not a weasel, skunks are, but yes, they look very similar.

7:24 pm

Nef

wow! Sounds like you know them well! Have you lived down there?

7:43 pm

dcseain

no, saw the word was from Nahuatl and went and read about it.

7:44 pm

dcseain

through years, i've lived mostly in the DC area, for a bit in Madrid, and for a while in Boston.
