(last post: May 12, 2007 - 17:53)		I'll put it on the front page of the newspaper. I'm conscious that there are damn few Talossan words so far in the paper.

    * There is in fact no "canonical" Talossan word for "octagon" - or indeed any other noun for a regular polyhedron that I could derive it from by analogy. The Talossan words for "triangle" and "square" are utterly unhelpful - we can only conclude that the founder of the language was not a mathematical brain. Therefore, I have given you a word which means "thing which has eight sides".

    Unless you'd rather keep your opinions private? :P

    I have an MSN account at heatherblackrose@hotmail.com, but I am rarely online. Best to email me to tell me when my presence is required.

    we have "osmihran" (of eight edges), "osmistěn" (of eight corners) or "osmiúhelník" (of eight angles) or "oktagon" :)

    The nifty thing, however, is theat the Swedish word doesn't mean "eight sides", but precisely "eight-sided thingy". It's the -ing suffix that does this trick.
