Tim – I don’t see how I get four points – I only see one, seeing as I (disappointingly) got only one vote for my def and I didn’t vote for the ‘fine for fornication’. Perhaps you’re confusing me with someone else of the same name?
Best,
Alan

Tim – It’s in your opening narrative – at the end of the paragraph that begins “the real meaning of LAIRWITE, etc.” But you definitely had it right in the summary table.
