Thank you all :D

cool :wink:

Posted by kasiecom10/23/10
last one could also be runnir and nerice- which are a type of moths

Posted by lukasiwicz10/23/10
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?

Posted by jcann10/23/10
I think she meant "runner" and just made a typo--which I do quite often. And nerice is explained in wikipedia.
