[Lexicog] Gradiba (?) puzzle

[John Roberts]

Thanks, Mike. A good suggestion. Although to me it sounds like a single 
phonological word with stress on the "eep" and voicing on the "p". If it is 
a speech error it is a seamless correction in mid-word.

This was sent to me by someone learning English by listening to the BBC 
radio. I will pass this suggestion on to him.

John
