Grammar

Young Adventurer is describing to Grandpa the various phonograms for "ough"--there are six ways to pronounce that, in case you didn't know.

Grandpa Larry, not wanting to be outdone, says, "what is the genitive ablative for something-or-another, thinking to throw around his superior knowledge of Greek and thereby outwit the Youth. Venom, sitting quietly in Grandpa's lap, hears this and says, "There can't be a genitive ablative. Those are two different cases."

There are two phonograms for "ow."

Not having taken greek or latin, and not knowing phonograms by memory, I apologize for any misspellings in this post.
