There were a whole load more words that could have been used, but I don't think they would have changed the general gist of the phrase. It probably wasn't a classical phrase, but used in the medieval to modern period.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17220703355730854289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18960414.post-441222122283118192009-04-04T04:40:00.000+00:002009-04-04T04:40:00.000+00:00Wonderful.

My "Cambridge Latin Course" is still sitting over there on my bookshelf...my daughter is destined to learn it when she's advanced a couple of grades.<BR/><BR/>Worsted - more or less. The key with worsted is that the twist is put into the wool when its fibres are carefully aligned parallel to one another, so maybe 'finely connected'...worsted is also tight, which depending on how one defines 'fine' it could be interpreted as 'tight' or 'close'. Worsted is also the simplest draw to perform, making 'simply connected' make sense?<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm reaching.
