fun with English...

ok then the gh = the f sound so does ot = ot as in pot or oot as in shoot.

[Major_Gilbear]

Goad+die?

[Apollyon]

well, think of it this way, dj. Of you take tough, it is only the g and the h that make the f sound. The ou makes the sound "uh". So in Shoot, it would be necessary to put "oot" to make it sound like that, and besides its far more subtle than that.

[Apollyon]

Goad+die?

1 word. lol.

[DjCiD]

I give up this is worse than leet ;D I have to take a nap now... ;)

[nemafakei]

Do you mean ti as in "-tion", like a sh sound?

[Acriku]

Oh, duh, Fish!

[Apollyon]

Oh, duh, Fish!

well done =)

altho lol I think Nema gave the inspiration, no? ;)

ill explain it completely

GH = f as in tough

O = I as in women (pronounced wimin)

TI = sh as in station

well done everyone =)

[Acriku]

[nemafakei]

What should 'axghaen' be written as?

[emprworm]

i have no idea

but if that "X" is silent because of a french word like beaux, then that is cheating. ;)

[emprworm]

name the only word in the english language that means its exact oppositte.

[Acriku]

Antithesis? Probably not.

[emprworm]

nope :)

the word I am thinking of has basically 2 meanings.

meaning #1 is an antonym for meaning #2.

[bryorama]

Uuuuhhhhhhh? opposite? :P ;D hehe

[aox0m0xoa]

cleave

Cleave, v. i. To part; to open; to crack; to separate; as parts of bodies; as, the ground cleaves by frost

To adhere, cling, or stick fast.

[emprworm]

lol ya.

Better be careful next time you use the word cleave.

[nemafakei]

The x is not silent. But you need to think about things that seem silent, but are functional in of themselves... I'm not making myself very clear.

[emprworm]

hmmm how about axghaen = oxen?

[nemafakei]

Not bad, but nope.

[Apollyon]

oxygen? ???
