That's not what I need right now.

I won't assume you want to say. But if you do, or if you need anything, let me know.

BTW, I love lardwnes! Reminds me of Catalan llardons!
(And invent a word for miss right now! I derived mine from Latin fallo, fallere, the etymon of French falloir).
I'm thinking about that. I could evolve the word from "to avoid; to save; to dodge" or go the weird way and derive it from "to escape with" or "to fall with", or use a verbal phrase like "to feel the distance of smn/smth".

It's something specific to Greek, not to the length per se. Check this.
