I said "It" couldn't figure those out, meaning the script; one of them isn't a word at all, another one is a place name (and therefore not in its dictionary), and one happened to be a form of the word that it didn't have (as it had the equivalent with a 'z'), and I wasn't able to figure it out myself either. But I grokked the university's name no trouble. No other university has that many y's and so few other vowels. :) ChrisA
