Dear Ian W. Again you are using the argument that if someone (modern) did it, it is OK, even good. (But, Mom, all the kids do it.) Your first example, Larry Schiffman's dissertation title, is I recall correctly, did not arrive without considerable regrets by some learned advisors. You have the option of less problematic, less obscuring, language, if you are open.

Herb, good example. _______________________________________________ g-Megillot mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.McMaster.CA/mailman/listinfo/g-megillot
