hucklebarry: Is there a term for words that also make up other words?

For instance: Car and Cart.

Stooner: primitive?
Interesting. Wonder how often that happens?

Don't know, many many times?
Would it still be called a primitive if it was slang or an abbreviation?

If I just typed "BR" instead of "BRB" (which both mean the same thing)... is that a primitive or is there another term for that? Abbreviation doesn't seem right, especially when we are already abbreviating.
I personally don't think there is a word for that, the closest I could come to was anagram, but that's not quite the same thing, this after heavy googling.

Well, I'm good if we don't find an answer... I was trying to help some folks understand that OMG could have a letter missing from the front of it, but I didn't know what word to use to explain that phenomenon.... but someone figured it out in the process ;)

Mooszek: GOT IT!!!!!!!

HMH7-ARTY-9B2A-NE77 - but used by me :)

The last hint was connected with old riddle (post number 1203 written by... NameGoo!) and this: 46 99 56 66 76 56 42 66 56 60 90 96 was a message "onetwothrees" written in Nihilist cipher. The key to this cipher was placed in this old riddle. I hope that NameGoo will explain this better.
Congratulations!
Nice to see the community working together to figure everything out. :)
Hey ! Beyond Good & Evil on Promo :D !

Otherwise... I'm tired of seeing Rayman 2, have the game on at least 3 platforms (DS, 3DS, Dreamcast, ...)

Other than beyond good & evil I don't really see anything tempting...
Maybe rayman forever ??...

Oho, clever, I see what you did there ;)
Just got back. Congrats to the winner.

So, I couldn't even find the protagonist. Who was it? Desmond Miller did not work for me.

Thanks.
