| | Clarification request(s) and responseRonnie McKee: 5:20pm Nov 28, 2007: Jeeeeeez - I feel like an idiot. Almost all of you found this in a dictionary in no time flat. Its not in any of my dictionaries and I just downloaded the new Collins today. I'm tired, but I spent a long time looking for this and I feel really stupid. Thanks all!!!!
Ronnie McKee: 5:22pm Nov 28, 2007: I shoulda - I just used google images to search the word. And of cours what do I get but a bunch of pictures of what I was undoubtedly looking for. Including the one on Jules web page. Thanks again.
bigedsenior: 9:44pm Nov 28, 2007: In Spanish, with the high use of diminutives, it is sometimes best to just go to the root of the word - 'arca'.
