- This is also pretty common in English! Come on, folks. Haven't you
- ever heard someone say something like, "I finished reading Starhawk
- a little while ago," or "How much of Buckland did you read?"
-
- It can also be a little more subtle, such as: "Blum has 25 runes,
- but all the serious runologists use only 24." Here, Blum himself
- doesn't "have" or "possess" 25 runes -- but his book describes 25
- runestones.

- Bear Blessings!
