Hawthorne certainly put it on the map in "A Blithedale Romance," and what I like about it, is that the sound is just about what it is - onomatopoeia, I think, except blithe doesn't make a sound, unless possibly a slight hum. Because of the guttural consonants, the "i" comes from lower than usual in the chest, and is very evocatively tied off by the teeth. I'm happy that you consult the page for play, as I usually do, myself. :)<br /><br />I'm sorry this posting took a little bit of an ironic turn, because I prefer a merrier outing. But this is the weekend of a soldier's death who was close to me, and the responses of hazardous pedestrian behaviours, 'inspired' shopping, advanced delectations and disporting as in a jungle in broad daylight are genuine and familiar to most Americans. Even a President of the United States told us to go shopping, but he would. That said, every word is true about Baccarat. :)Laurenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17972899387484460347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4751850602006071202.post-4162399318724367372011-10-13T07:30:57.059-04:002011-10-13T07:30:57.059-04:00You see, I know Norwegian intimately.
