    Of course this is just cause for the linguistic magpie to
spring into action. Does anyone know of a reference book which
lists the various adjectives for animals? eg. piscine, bovine,
lupine, vulpine, porcine etc.
    Thanks a whole lot to all the people who responded to my last
request for reference books. I've now got tons of new references
and will post them if there is any interest. Stay tuned to this
station for more obscure word collections.
	The linguistic magpie.
