I must agree with you about the word ethereal and that's mostly what I associte the word FAY with... If anything, a Fée is someone with many talents and clever and nimble with her (his?)fingers (une Fée du Logis, for instance)There is often some confusion over the use of the words "fay" (a noun - fairy) and "fey" (an adjective - strange, other-worldly, whimsical). Homosexuals have often been referred to as fey. I think both words are due for rehabilitation. Aren't they lovely? mile:
