Hi, CC! Traditionally the prerogative of the originator of the current word. The previous word produced over 900 derivatives, and could almost certainly have produced 1000, so perhaps the target should be set fairly high? Can't see the current word producing anything close to 1000 offshoots though....

Okey-dokey----THANKS!!
