Oops, I didn't mean to imply triumph is a verb and only a verb. My
apologies: I failed to be complete.

Parker's *still* wrong, though. Now that I've been called out, and just for
the sake of completeness:

in·tran·si·tive
(n-trns-tv, -z-)
adj. Abbr. intr. or int. or i.
Designating a verb or verb construction that does not require or cannot
take a direct object, as snow or sleep.
Lest you cast too many aspersions upon dictionary.com (rather than my
misusage of it):

Point of order, Dan: Are you going to call Parker up and read the definition
of intransitive to him, or does that fall upon me?

Rover is a noun. Triumph is a verb, albeit slightly archaic, and a noun.

Since he mentioned Jeep as a verb, I thought I'd get away with Rover.

It looks like OE performed this 'favor' for me when I cut-n-pasted the
definition of intransitive from the website. I don't ordinarily add
attachments to usenet posts.

Sorry about the extra 198 bytes. If you've got a 300 bits/second modem I
guess I added approximately 5.28 seconds to your dialup download. Send me a
bill.
