I'm aware of them indirectly from other works, I don't speak any of them - I do well enough getting along in English, my few attempts at other languages failed miserably.

Gladly! -

oryxes

(Thanks. You left out the 'i' in your initial post, so I didn't find it, even in the Italian encyclopedia. I'm somewhat familiar with Carrera marble from art history, but not from the mineralogic perspective. I'm always happy to learn something new. I'm slow at picking up languages orally, but do reasonably well in learning to read other tongues, I guess I'm just an inveterate academic.)

D'oh! And - yeah, learning new things is fun. I just seem to be built such that gaining functionality in new languages is rather more difficult than other tasks, for whatever reason.

To each their own!
