i like contranyms.
especially cleave. 'for a man shall cleave only unto his wife' and
meat-cleaver, and cleavage...
which reminds me of being weirded out when a british book refered to a man
as 'an absolute tit'.
i like janus faced words - that mean the opposite coming or going.
ziviya, trying to remember if jove=jupiter is also janus, or was that a
differetn dude?
