What’s important to know is that many Homeric words from ancient Greek still exist in our modern vocabulary, though they have been altered by phonological phenomenon."

You've been busy ..nice to hear of the reworking.
Even more apt then that the recreation of Lysicrates' monument in the Botanical gardens, itself complete in contrast to the original, is made of the same yellow block. "Sedimentary Watson" said Holmes..(sic)
