Is there any "old" words that use this too or is this some modern "thing"?
ox -> oxen, and since VAX machines are as strong as oxen, we have the plural VAXen. And from there it (I assume) got applied to other things that do alot of work, like emacs (emacsen), and a couple of machines (boxen). That is atleast how I gather it. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
