aim,
i am as always astounded by your linguistic versatility ;-)
I believe what has happened here is that θ, or 'theta', has turned into a voiceless alveolar fricative, as often happens when foreign speakers stumble over this sound that the Welsh and the Greeks both mastered but that speakers of more ordinary tongues can only hiss- aim, we are lucky as English speakers that we have this θ at our disposal. I trust you will soon recover, as Geminians are renowned for mastery of tongues :-)
I am grateful to Glydin for assistance rendered under another name. The name suggests a glide over the θorns of life.
interestingly, i have commented on another θread contributor's name. it is in the archives :-)
i have also denounced archivists, too, but that's just my own Gemini streak.
the ridiculous entity that has been plaguing my attempts to render 'theta' is simply a testament to my own lack of ingenuity. you may see what it is supposed to look like here: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/a9/Xsampa-T2.png
sank you all,-z
