act as Explanation: Mike :) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2005-05-24 16:10:30 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In this case the first term acts as the second. Although traditionally aphasia is linked ... that is, it is not a matter of \"being wordless,\" but rather having nothing to day about things (unflappability) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 mins (2005-05-24 16:11:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oxford Dictionary Note the use of \"asosorar\" in this case as \"act as\" instead of \"advise\" asesoro a la compañía en materia de impuestos I act as o I am the company’s tax advisor o consultant, I advise the company on tax matters |

is the core/origin of the second Explanation: afasia (it seems to me) would be like the core of "imperturbabilidad". Alternatively, you can always change the sentence a bit and simply say that afasia, for Pirron, acquires a sense of imperturbability, rather than the most traditional meaning. Suerte. Quim |
