Subject: Re: folk/folklore



Bethany wonders about "-lk" words other than "milk." What about "bulk",

"Belk" (a department store here in the Carolinas and perhaps elsewhere

in the south/ southeast), "Falk" (as in Peter or Julia), and maybe even

the "yolk/yoke" distinction that some of us have?



Regards,



Bruce
