Now that's a ridiculous claim, since I acknowledged the two meanings of
"deon" in *several* emails: two emails on the 4th, again on the 5th, and yet
once more today, when I expressed surprise that L&S attribute the different
meanings to different words (in which case, in a sense "deon" has two
identical-sounding roots).  Really, Mervyn, either your memory or your
reading is terribly slipshod.  Since several people have complained about
your reading methods in the past few days, maybe there's an issue?
