Hi Tim,

I notice that the word has changed from AULACOGEN to AULACGEN. I hope the mistake is in the title of this post, not in the call for definitions.

My votes are for number 3 and 11, with a gentle acknowledgement of the sedimentary number 12.

Cheers,
Hugo

This life is temporary. This life is short. When this life is over, our bodies will die and become empty shells, but our souls will continue to live forever. Where will the “real you” live? Will you live for all eternity separated from God? Or will you spend eternity in the presence of God in heaven? Learn more so you can make your most important decision:

Yes, Hugo, it was just a slip of the keyboard. The word is still AULACOGEN.
