The       last 2 refer to parts of extended hind foot of animals of order       Carnivora. The 1st is similar in meaning to teliomorphic and is used       to describe godesses Bastet and Bubasis.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
