The ones I've just come across are: amnia, amniotic, amniocentesis. Presumably these simply weren't in Webster, but that seems like an oversight; web2 contains some more-obscure related words :-). "amnia" is the plural of "amnion"; "amniotic" means "of or pertaining to the amnion"; "amniocentesis" is a medical procedure in which a sample of amniotic fluid is taken. You can find them all in, e.g., "The Chambers Dictionary" (a UK, not a US, dictionary, but these words are not dialect- -specific). >How-To-Repeat: egrep '^amni' /usr/share/dict/* >Fix: Add those words to /usr/share/dict/web2. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
