| Posted about 1 month ago Steve, an interesting choice. I really hadn't thought of it as so obscure, but then sometimes when trying to translate from one language into another, I find that I end up with words that aren't exactly mainstream english. This is an example of one of those. It has been swimming around in my head for some years, after a conversation with someone in Spanish. There were a word or three that I didn't have in my vocabulary at the time. I quickly went home to remedy the situation and came up with that Iconostasis (something that I hadn't heard of in English either). Sorry for the ...ummmm... esoteric puzzle. Boundary

| Posted about 1 month ago No worries, Mitch. It's that you made me look it up. LOL I'm not Catholic or Orthodox where you might expect to find someone who knows what the word meant. Win! adjudicate |
