No, no, no: that's '- Meanie tickle -', as in 'Meanie,
meanie, tickle a parson'!

Although you are the one of the biggest brains on sci.lan I doubt you
will be able to grasp the relation among words as tackle, tickle,
touch, Serb. taći, taknuti (touch), tension, tug, Serb. otegnuti, is-
tegnuti (extend), teg (weight), tegliti (pull, tow, tug); tank, tin,
thin; Serb. tanko (thin), tanjiti (make thiner);
What about English long and Serbian dužina (length) and količina
(amount, quantity). Are these words derived from the same basis or
not? If yes why yes and how, if not why not?

Brainy, if you dare to start a debate on the above subject/s I am
going to show you what the real science is! :-)
