    To lich!
    It's been a while since I posted. How is "lich" pronounced? Is it leash or lick? Neither?

    I think it is. It has to be. The dictionary says " lich" and the ch is "tch" in witch. And we all the know the I has to be I in "it". So, it's l-i-tch, right?

    LOL, too true. Apparently, it's derived from the good ol' English word līċ. It's also a Dutch and Swedish derivative.

    Yeah, me too. Etymology's fun, too. Hey, remember that spelling bee? Although I didn't go there, winning the spelling contest in my class and making fifth in the one after that was fun.
