Thanks, Dave, for the new source I'm adding to my
bookmarks. I looked up both Carrie's and your words.
Are you a scientist that you happened to know that
word? I think I way have seen crwth in one of the Dark
is Rising books, now that I know it's a Welsh word. I
must remember, the next time I play Hangman or the
other game the name of which I can't remember, to say
we can't use scientific or foreign words (smile).
