If we were playing charades, I'd be doing the finger-and-thumb gesture for a "small word". The result, for both of the words above, is that we create two new words, not two phrases. One of them will be familiar to you; the other is less common, except possibly in ecclesiastical circles.

And whoever gets it will probably want to kick me! :laughter:

I looked up classis, and this is theological indeed, so is the link "is"?

I could not find "classis" defined anywhere, first thing I thought of!

Doh, should have looked in my copy of Ogilvie's Dictionary of 1885! I could not find it at all on Google or in my ODOE.

OK, with you lot Ogilvie's stays by the desk now!

:redface: did not spot that Google was offering results for "classis" as well, under the "classic" line!

I see that "acreable" is a word, so is it "able"?

Not only is it "able", but "acreable" was the only word or phrase I could think of beginning with "acre"....
