    And what I intended to say in my first go, but looking back, I never got there. I've asked, and I haven't found anyone who's ever heard of
    a KOE lin except Gen. Powell. So, Rex, we're probably all as mystified as you.

    In searching more thoroughly through what occasionally passes for my brain, I can't find this name among folk I've met in the UK and Australia
    on any of the trips, so that explains not having heard the proper caw lin. I was willing to beg pardon for my Southern ear for that, but for once,
    I'm innocent.
