Not in the slightest, i assure you, O Great One.
Just that, by the time i picked up on this string and its obvious revelence to
middleevil religion, you folks were already so far in the Ditch as to be
unsalvageable save through some Spectacular Blood Sacriface, most probably by
an high official in amongst the Grammer Police.
There are limits, after all.
"Waswolf," indeed.
And, O Isidore Tulku, spare us these flights of imaginary entymologies.
What next, a denial of the self-evident derivation of "Woeman"?
On point, "wherewolf," if you please (plural: "wherewolfs");
or, if speaking of them in the Olden Daze, al Tems Anciënour,
"whencewolfs" would be perfectly acceptable, in a pinch.
As to the Kinkie Linguistic Customs of your Friends, the Much Sainted
Sunderland Women of the North East, we needent get into that too deeply, on a
