In Russian a pencil is called "karandash", a word of Asiatic origin, I believe. There is a French (or possibly Swiss) pencil-making company that call their product "Caran d'Ache". Is this derived from the Russian "karandash"? -- Claus Tondering Dansk Data Elektronik A/S, Herlev, Denmark E-mail: ct@dde.dk
