Actually didn't he reply, when Russell pointed out the contradiction at
the heart of his system, "Arithmetic is tottering" - though in fact it was
just his own theory that was tottering.
Admit contradictions and you admit anything: that is why they are
impermissible.

Although it was more like a permeateable leak than a contradiction _in
sensu strictu_.
Anyway, there's _untotter_:
you take 3 tarts out of the pimp's dozen, how many do you get:
pimp's dozen (modeled upon baker's dozen: 13)
13
3
-------
10
untottering: 10.
Pimps and tarts. Tarts have a lot of things in common with unOxonian
tutors. I was reading a classified the other day for an educational service.
"You'll learn Japanese in two weeks. The first hour is free".
