Can anyone help answer the following question (posed by my father)? * EHB: need help. have written column for Jurid Diction called "ini, Mini" * and having to do with those who add "ini" to their names (like Houdini who * namee himself after Robert-Houdin). What is the proper designation for the * "ini"? * I am certain it is not a diminutive. Bairdini says it is an Italianate * enhancement. I need to refer to it in the introcuction to the column.Help. * RLB Surely someone out there is Italian, or knows about pretending to be! Thanks in advance, Elizabeth Bluemle (sharing Josie L's account) josie@blackbox.cc.columbia.edu
