Dino	(reply to dora) posted 14-Nov-2002 8:12am yours sounds right
dora	(reply to Dino) posted 14-Nov-2002 8:38am I looked "source" on the Merriam-Webster and the only word with the same meaning that can be right is root. Maybe that was cheating,I don't know.

anoddoblivion	posted 14-Nov-2002 9:51am Leave(s)? They can be medicine and food. They are sources of origin since they make the soil (or part of it) and then new plants originate out of them. One can leave up or take leave. The only one I'm not sure on is "'leave' up"
anoddoblivion	(reply to dora) posted 14-Nov-2002 9:52am ++AND++ Dino Yep, I think root if better than leave(s).
