Ooo wow. Rhotacism! Cool word. Thank you for it. To use it in a sentence, I had known a friend for years before realizing he displayed rhotacist tendencies. Except that it was with ell, not arrr. Ergo, probably a different word. Can't help me with that one, can you? I'm taking Bly on faith when I call it a translation. However, I suspect there may be a much deeper conflict of definition here. So, I must ask, what to you would distinguish a version from a translation?
