From Lewis Carroll's "The Hunting of the Snark"

In the midst of the word he was trying to say
In the midst of his laughter and glee
He had softly and suddenly vanished away
For the Snark was a Boojum, you see.




"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."
-Nikola Tesla

Thanks Shari... so instead of a hard R in cirio, it is soft, alomost like a D? Interesting... Is that true of other Spanish words with an R following an I or anything else?
