Likhanov used the fruit word to        AS> denote the color, so I wanted an English word more associated with        AS> the fruit than with the color, even though it can denote both.              i can understand that... translating things is a special gift... especially       when marking subtle tings like the difference between an orange (the fruit)       and an orange color...               ML>> i love eating oranges... especially navel oranges... moreso when        ML>> the navel is large enough to eat as well... like a smaller orange        ML>> within a larger one :)               AS> I thought it was a kind of nameless defect, but now I know the        AS> English term -- and a good one, too!              yep! some of them aren't so good to try to eat but when they are good, they're       very good ;)              )\/(ark              And to this end they built themselves a stupendous super-computer which was       so amazingly intelligent that even before its data banks had been connected       up it had started from "I think therefore I am" and got as far as deducing       the existence of rice pudding and income tax before anyone managed to turn       it off.       ...
