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!              ---        * Origin: nntps://fidonews.mine.nu - Lake Ylo - Finland (2:221/6.0)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 203/0 221/1 6 360 226/17 227/114 229/354 426 1014       SEEN-BY: 240/1120 1634 2100 5138 5832 5853 8001 8002 249/206 317 261/38       SEEN-BY: 280/5003 5006 5268 313/41 317/3 320/219 322/757 335/364 342/200       SEEN-BY: 2454/119       PATH: 221/6 1 280/5003 240/1120 5832 229/426           |
