@Leona & Ikonini

v Simply get the passage NKT was used in and read it out. The sound you are mentioning would be something like nxt or tongue click. Am sorry if am wrong but that’s how things are.

@Kasomething

v LCCN is an international Abbreviation for Library of Congress Control Number.

v Now am out of here for the day.

@Prettygal
In the 'booky' world,You could be right...But in the social/slang scene..ask any under 18,Nkt=click. If you want realtime proof,ask any teenager,especially those still in high school or better still..visit FB.

I like the reference to them as Limau,that's really a cracker. I knew with the start of the sms thing,such things would come up,now little kids will spend their energy trying to learn the new LIMAU instead of Excretion and Homeostasis ....
