(SM, pen) Nutrify. Sgoddaby.

The adjectival -ish suffix means like, or somewhat, so 'nourish' clearly means something that's a bit noury.

Does that imply "dish" means "like the letter D" then?
Simons Mith
Yes, and the same for 'fish' and 'wish' too. One of the great benefits of having a highly consistent language like English is that these rules are 100% reliable.
