[meteorite-list] umm, odd S-A

[Sterling K. Webb]

Hi,

Is that:

>From SURGE, Middle French sourge-, stem of 
sourdre to rise, surge, from Latin surgere to go
straight up, rise, from sub- up + regere to lead
straight? 1 : to rise and fall actively :TOSS
<a ship surging in heavy seas>  2 : to rise and
move in waves or billows : SWELL?

Hence, SURGATION, the process of surging?

Hi Rob,

Yea, that would be a good way to describe it (although I cannot find
the word in the dictionary.com).

Here's a pic:
