== Citation problem ==

All of your formal citations are to phantoms.  You have to cite one actually existing article and two novel phantoms (which must be the ''only'' novel phantoms in your text).  I find the hardest part of writing Ghyll entries to be finding the most relevant actually existing article (I fudged it in the [[Conflict That Is Not Happening]] by implying that the most important part of the article was the part removed by the Copy Editor).  Picking just two novel terms to turn into phantoms is also difficult.  --[[User:Jcowan|Jcowan]] 09:08, 27 Sep 2004 (EDT)

"Eke" means "augment", as in "ekename" (which later became "nickname"), a name that augments your original name.  So the phrase "eke out a meager [or meagre, if you're a Brit] living by X" means to ''augment'' the meager living you already have from some other source Y (farming, fishing, or what not) by doing X as well.
