jazzmusician46 Sep 25, 2007	Thanks Zonarita. I did run few past my Masters students when I worked in China and they found some of them far too hard. But's that's ok.

kasiecom Oct 23, 2010	last one could also be runnir and nerice- which are a type of moths
lukasiwicz Oct 23, 2010	Kasiecom, I have been unable to verify, through any of the resources available to me, including the OED, that "runnir" is a legitimate word in the English language. What is the source of your info that this "word" denotes a type of moth?
jcann Oct 23, 2010	I think she meant "runner" and just made a typo--which I do quite often. And nerice is explained in wikipedia.
