Cel;eryroot, OFF TOPIC >> ...wasn't there ... amicus, amici, amicurum? << I remember Amicus curiae { friend of the court}, and Don amici { a very friendly mobster }, who reminded some of the actor, Don Ameche {probably a bastardization {IYWPTE} of amici }. Amicurum sounds like a friendly nurse, Amy curum.

>> I am a lot younger << To use another lingo, " Vouldn't hoit".Bernie

>I just remembered..wasn't there a Amicus, amici, amicurum????
>(farmer I think) How can you remember all that, and I am alot
>younger.

I was talking about verbs and Bernie got the hint :-) You missed it and since you admit to being a lot younger, no hints for you!

And ''amicus" does not mean ''farmer" unless my memory is really messed up. The easiest way to remember Latin words is to look for English words with common roots. In this case, consider the word ''amicable".....

Thanks, Torben

Did you hear the one about the two brothers who were market markers:
Romulus and Remus.

Celery, amicus is friend, like in amigo. Farmer is agricola, like in agriculture. At least I think it ends in an a. That's the feminine. I guess the Romans were sexist as well. (:>)
