Meaning what? Are you implying that English has some rather strange irregularities? What a preposterous concept.

Weighing an item's merits solely on whether or not it is "Best" unfairly makes certain items, like the Crom Faeyr, seem 'insufficient'--which they clearly are not. Don't discount the Crom just because it doesn't do what, say, the Silver Sword or the Soul Reaver+6 do. The Crom's +5 enchantment, STR bonus, and Stoneskin-piercing Electrical damage are more than enough reasons to justify its being categorized as an "artifact"-class item. It does
nasty things to the damage when Dual-wielded (especially when Backstabbing), and Soloists swear by it--there's just no better way of busting open locked doors & chests.
True, you need to destroy the Girdle and the Gauntlets in order to make it, but come on--if you need more than 4 Str-enhancing items in one party, why are you running around with so many weak Warriors?
