Populous G. Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 In fact, I was reading an english book when I saw that world. I search it on a my translation software and I saw : Sedge n.Carex n.m. I was very surprised because I didn't know the meaning of the french word "carex". I have found it on my dictionnary and saw that carex is meaning jong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
