With all due respect to Herr Fuchs, I propose that we just go ahead and alter the spelling. Tell all your friends. <BR/><BR/>Here's a photo I blogged last summer. It shows part of a <A HREF="http://brendacoulter.blogspot.com/2005/06/chillin-with-anne.html" REL="nofollow">FUSCHIA</A> plant.<BR/><BR/>Bonnie, I agree that those illusions are amazing. My Number One Son was a bit skeptical at first, but we studied the photos and camera angles and figured they were the real thing. I imagine they projected the images they wanted onto the walls and then traced the patterns and painted them.<BR/><BR/><I>Voiceless velar fricative,</I> Pacatrue? You mean like, uh, <I>expectoratus interruptus</I>? (Oh, I crack myself up!

Since English doesn't have that sound, we simplified it to the closest sound we do have, namely "sh". So there you go. A completely made up explanation. Plausible. Correct?
