Surely it couldn't be a norange.

Such a daft word, i bet nothing would even rhyme with it!

Surely not

Hi Ayrpeeps and welcome to h2g2 smiley

It is true that nobody ever called it a norange, but this was only because the N disappeared from the word in French before the fruit reached these shores. Who's to say what we'd be calling it if it hadn't?

cheers Icy
