A Little Latin, Less Greek

[Circ Staff]

	A question about polyglottality --	
	Which languages does Pynchon know, and how well does he know them? 
Perhaps Andrew Dinn, with his impressive Wagnerian signature, could
comment on the German in GRAVITY'S RAINBOW, and perhaps another
Rugglophile could analyze the Spanish in V. and VINELAND.
	Mulling over FENSTER, FENETRE, and TRANSFENESTRATION led me to
this question.
