Farang Rak Tham I'd be open to that, however, maybe I'm just overlooking it, but I wasn't able to find/verify its Hmannan source in the article. --

Farang Rak Tham, thanks for the suggestion. It's certainly less dry than my hook.
SamCordes, sorry, I've just added the reference for Hmannan. What do you think about ALT1?

for ALT1 Hybernator No worries, thanks for adding the source. Looks like it's offline but accepting in good faith. I'm striking the initial hook to avoid confusion. Thanks! --
