"The Cunctator" <cuncta...@gmail.com> >> And still people can't spell my username! "cuncTator".
Hm. "[[Fabius Maximus]]' cognomen Cunctator (akin to the English noun cunctation) means "delayer" in Latin, and refers to his tactics in deploying the troops during the Second Punic War." In our defence, the context of scholarship here makes the resemblance to "cuncation" semantically prominent, the "t" after the "Cunc" has all the elements of a silent "t," and a kind of built-in cognitive linguistic variant of AGF tells us you are neither referring to "tater tots" nor "cun[c]ts," even though the former may be tasty. -Stevertigo ;-) _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
