v => ph Transformation Rule
Steven can be spelled Stephen. The ph is voiced in the latter case.
Why can't we do this with any word that has a v internally?
David -> Daphid
Avarice -> Apharice
Evening -> Ephening
Love -> Lophe
Liver -> Lipher
Loaves -> Loaphes
Woven -> Wophen
etc.

Shmide
Today's portmanteau is brought to you by Overcompensating.

Flora wants to know if it hurts
Flora is eighteen months old and has a formidable sign-language vocabulary. For example, she knows how to say hurt. She can use it as a statement - "that hurts" - and as a question - "did that hurt?".
She likes to do things to people and then ask them if it hurt. Which is either really cool or really sick. I was floored when she clawed my left eye and then asked me if it hurt.
