Hi all - this is primarily for Bill, but he keeps bouncing to you all get
to read it!
Question, is there anyway that corrections can be made to the ferret
nicknames post so nicely put out by ever loving' Bob Church? There are
mistakes in the hebrew including calling them RATS! (chulda). The correct
hebrew name for the domestic ferret (M. p. furo) is kha-moose. The rest
are other members of the mustiladae family but not the fur snakes well all
know and love!
Be well and happy holidays!

[Moderator's note: I'm sure it's possible to change, though I think when
Bob C. made up the list the idea was to list *nicknames*. So, in a sense,
the list is correct -- I mean, even in English ferrets are sometimes called
"rats" :-), or weasels, etc. Anyhow, I shouldn't speak for Bob. So...
Bob?? Comments?? BIG]
