I must admit you have me there with prehend. Never heard that one used before. I do know I had a 'possum once with a prehensile tail. <BR/><BR/>I got a lot of rice in the bowl. <BR/><BR/>AvaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-5597886268998623662007-11-14T03:51:00.000-08:002007-11-14T03:51:00.000-08:00Dee, I'm with John on that one. I can use it the other way, going with "prehensile," but by itself I'm not grasping it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399953666507652031.post-48857022347707096492007-11-13T23:16:00.000-08:002007-11-13T23:16:00.000-08:00I've scratched me head for an age, Dee, and I cannot for the life of me ever recall 'prehension' used.

I'll look it up in my big heavy dictionary when Graham's awake enough to lift it down from the shelf for me.<BR/><BR/>Meantime... sleep well!John Baileyhttp://oldgreypoet.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
