Perhaps "embig" on the pattern of "enlarge"? --Ken<br><br><b><i>Michael Nicholas <mrnicholas007@yahoo.es></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;">     <!-- Network content -->           <div id="ygrp-text">             <div></div><div>Dear Tim,</div>  <div> Isn't there a certain tendency to put <strong><em>em</em></strong> instead of <em><strong>en</strong></em> in front of the word because it begins with B? embattle/embank/ emblemish etc.? So embolden and enlighten. In this case enlighten is  - of course - not to make a load less heavy, and  it was needed because it added a new meaning to lighten. I think embiggen is due to the
 <strong>em rather than en before  B</strong> and even so widen from wide etc. Ithink we have something on the lines of entrap/ensnare for trap/snare.(<wbr>verbs). <br><br><b><i>Tim Gaved <tim_gaved@sil.<wbr>org></i></b> escribió:</div>  <blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255);"><!-- Network content -->  <div id="ygrp-text">  <div><!-- Network content -->  <div class="Section1">  <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Michael, <O></O></span></font></div>  <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;"><O></O></span></font></div>  <div class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">But note embolden – to make bolder, and enlighten.<O></O></span></font></div>  <div
