I stumbled across this word on p. 539 of the heaviest, fattest, stompingest tome in my library, Richard Routley's Exploring Meinong's Jungle and Beyond<\/em> (Ridgeview, 1980).  The thing is 1,035 pages long.  I could kill a cat with it, and you hope I won't.  A mere $500 for an Amazon used copy<\/a>. One copy available at the moment. No, I won't sell my copy unless you give me $500,000.00 for it.  Cash on the barrel head.<\/span><\/p>\n

I don't know and it doesn't matter, but this tome does.  I've slogged through most of it over the years.  Very rich, very technical, very good.<\/span><\/p>\n
