      Camitlna, I think the expression you were looking for two messages ago is 
      "highly inflected." 

      And you're a Gaelic speaker? W'allahi b-illahi l'illahi! 

      Thanchvil, tocaya, I'm part Fri(e)sian on my mother's side--German (North) 
      Frisian, not Dutch. Some of the older folks still speak the language. They 
      like to say it's closer to English than to German. My Frisian relatives 
      are given to red hair, wrecking, boozing and the occasional bout of 
      melancholy. If not salvage/wrecking, they have some connection with the 
      sea: some of the gravestones in the village churchyard have pictures of 
      boats on them.  And my relatives all have eyes the color of the sea--blue, 
      blue-grey, green, grey & variations thereof.
