[Ads-l] Nor is "co-signer. "Co-Sign" Not in OED (UNCLASSIFIED)

 But I acknowledge that your question needs consideration.

I'm all for more information in the book.  But is there anything special about "co-sign" that isn't well-covered by using the entries for the prefix "co-" and the verb "sign"?


At least it has "cosine".
