: Actually, we have made a noun out of an adjective. It should be called a
: scarf joint, and the plural should be 2 scarf joints.)

: But if you can accept modifying the language to allow someone to
: "grow" a business, you certainly don't mind creating nouns which
: are hard to pluralize.
: But why even bother? Pluralizing the alternative spelling of scarph as
: scarphs doesn't violate the conventions of English spelling that calls for
: a final "f" to be changed to a "ves"

: One scarf around my neck. I made 15 more scarves for the necks of friends at
: Xmas times. I need to cut two tapers to make one scarph joint, and 4
: tapers for two scarph joints, which, if we vernacularize, are scarfs,
: scarphs, or scarves.

: If you are interested in pursuing the spelling traditions of this language,
: there seems to be very large sect of English speakers you night wish to
: contact. From my vantage point, it appears that they are bent on the
: singular issue of correcting English spelling of the word
: "light" Their method of operation seems to be to identify beers
: which are mislabeled with the misspelled word "Lite">, which
: they purchase, obviously with the intent of removing it from the eyes of
: proper English spellers. a strange ritual of this sect is that then then
: drink the mislabeled beverage. Anthropologists viewing this action are of
: two opions on this. One opines that this is a form of sacrifice where by
: sect members willingly accept the effects of numerous containers of this
: bevereage. Another opines that the contempt the sect has for the mispelled
: beverage is demonstrated by how their body processes the fluids. This
: opinion is filled with technical scatological details that I won't bore
: you with. Wither way, if you wish to observe such actions yourself, you
: can usually observe sectmembers at most local taverns. By the way, this is
: a secret sect. If you mention that you know about it to anyone who is a
: member, they will give you a look like they think you are nuts. That's
: their recognition code -- and I probably shouldn't have mentioned all
: this, but I share so much here already, and I know how interested everyone
: is in such off topic subjects.

: hope this helps

If you produce this joint with hand tools, are you a "scarver"?
