...did you mean 'eclipse', Francis?
Keith, "occult" has three forms : 1 (noun) 2 (adjective) 3 ( verb) As "shadows" was used in the VERB form, I suggested replacing it with the VERB form of occult , which means what I said it means. Latin occultus, from past participle of the VERB "occulere" which means "to cover up". Your definition of "occult" - in the NOUN form, is, OF COURSE, correct. The VERB form of "eclipse" means "to reduce in importance or repute", which, as a replacement for the VERB "shadows" is incorrect, although the NOUN form of "eclipse" is equivalent to the VERB form of "occult", but then, nouns and verbs ain't quite the same ......... :>) I love English, because of its complexity ......... -Francis _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
