In a final revision that will precede the "good to print" of the edition that is being prepared, flapi will be mentioned again. Firm, previously rejected, will also be mentioned again
In the meantime, yesterday, garage, garage owner, grivoiserie, grouse, loudspeaker (there you have the influence of the T. S. F.), haveneau (shrimp fishing net) were admitted.
