Guest guest Posted November 19, 2001 Report Share Posted November 19, 2001 Yes, but provocative means that it provokes. Provokable would mean it can be provoked, which is definitely different. Although I can't document it either (under provoke in my Encarta World English Dictionary, it only has the forms provoked, provoking, provokes), I would stick with provokable. ----Original Message Follows---- Reply-To: " Watt " To: , <nmtc > Subject: Re: provocable or provakable?

Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2001 11:56:20 -0500 OK, thanks J.L. We'll dismiss " provocative " (was simply thinking out loud). Sorry. However, I think we can go with the " c " as I did finally locate something to sink my teeth into ... (Stedman's Radiology - pg. 676 lists " provocable ischemia. " Ah, I do see the difference, and JFYI (and mine), it also lists: provocative testing. I'll make huge mentals notes of those!!
