   AK>>> with  a  lush  mandarine blanket => with a lush orange   
   AK>>> blanket   
   AS>> Have you read the original, which indeed has  "orange"?   
   AS>> I  chaged it to "mandarine" because in English "orange"   
   AS>> is a common color name, whereas Likhanov used the  name   
   AS>> of  the  fruit rather than of the color and I wanted to   
   AS>> emphasise that fruit association.   
      
   ML> orange is also the name of a fruit in english...   
      
   Russian has separate words for  the  fruit  and  the  color,   
   whereas  in  English  they are one.  Likhanov used the fruit   
   word to denote the color, so I wanted an English  word  more   
   associated  with  the fruit than with the color, even though   
   it can denote both.   
      
   ML> i love eating  oranges...  especially  navel  oranges...   
   ML> moreso  when the navel is large enough to eat as well...   
   ML> like a smaller orange within a larger one :)   
      
   I thought it was a kind of nameless defect, but now  I  know   
   the English term -- and a good one, too!
