Voden excuse me - were you joking - were you ???
Now Men are flammable, as before was what you said - do you not mean
Fallible - that can fail - he is fallible - he can fail
May I mention - saying men are flammable is to say they make good burning material, yes well I guess there is a Pont there

Hi LN My solemn meaning was to draw your attention to the fact: men that work in translating day after day ,like those Icelandic medieval scholars: responsible for the original text we are dealing with now in newer publications, are most often inclined to let it affect there own work in there more native tongue. Now Men are flammable, as before.
Thanks Uoden.
Delusive. Icelandic of today. Speaking of the good one, when he is mentioned.
