Strangely enough, these words can be very different in different languages, even though they originate from the same sounds. I hope our international members of CISA will be able to help us explore how this works out in their various languages. I have a useful (French) dictionary of such words which has some good starting points. Dec 07 2016 13.00 - 14.00 7 December 2016: Alan Smaill Title to follow IF 2.33
