Thanks, Beo, that's what I meant. I'm not sure how the Romans came up with X x X = C.

Here's a neat page on the topic of alphabets: http://www.wam.umd.edu/~rfradkin/alphapage.html

Back on topic: I wouldn't mind seeing more of those reti-blades by Bura.

IIRC, I brought it to the Reno Convention 2, and passed it around. Anybody remember the feel of it's weight? Remember this is not just a kora, it is an HI kora, and thus must be constructed not to break.

Rusty-- I remember it from the convention. That thing is huge, though as I recall, the blade is not as thick as a khukuri blade. Definitely not for one hand use, at least not for me, and I'm a fairly large person.

Josh, definitely not a one hander for me. Handle is far too thick for my hands.

If I wanted to do math in Roman numerals I'd go to

So a Sossun Pattah or a Yataghan. I'm not a good woodcarver, I can turn a twig into a pile of wood shavings. I'll see what I can do.

I tried it, Red. I got a flashing error message: "Indicates an vnderflow condition. An operation has resvlted in a qvantity smaller than the smallest nvmber that exists (I). To clear the error, press the key with the small "c" on it. Repeated errors will resvlt in the vser being thrown to the lions."

I'm not svre I vnderstand this vnvsval calcvlator.
