Thanks evryone!
I promise I'll remember the latin I just need a other name to say
only
to myself in my head so I know what I'm talking about!
I wish I had had latin lessons when I was in school. Quite alot of
the
names are descriptive but the only ones that make any sense to me and
ones like alba and niger etc..
I'll pick it up one day, got ages!
Thanks again.


Of course, it's a lot easier for old ladies, many of whom know Latin.
