    no we are not .Where did I mess up?:o

    Okay lets try this one out and see where it goes.
    Basically end of original word forms the beginning of new word.. Mininum of two letters from previous word has to be used to form new word. Where we reach a dead end, new chain begins.

    I think that means no rearranging but maybe there is an arguement?

    this is a curious word. Is it a combination of laryngitis and Bronchitis.

    Isotope.

    Perchloromethane


    Laryngo - larynx, obviously
    Tracheo - tracheal involvement
    [Laryngotracheo - lower throat]
    Bronch - airway, obviously
    -itis - medical for 'inflammation'...

    Don't worry until the firstborn runs up to you and says "I think I have laryngotracheobronchitis!" [a sore throat]
