For #92;Q, we get the maximal abelian extension by adjoining all roots of unity, i.e., taking compositum of all m-th cyclotomic fields (this is the famous Kronecker-Weber theorem).

On working days weavers who had jobs were already mee-mawing across the racket of looms as the van delivered and in hot weather, with weaving shed doors open, the sound bombarded the streets.
If you're familiar with Les Dawson's infamous creation Ada Shufflebotham, one of the Northern housewives in the 'Cissie and Ada sketches, you'll have an idea who Gran was. Just like Ada, she pursed her lips and silently mouthed the unmentionable things in life, rather than saying them out loud. This was known as 'mee-mawing' and it originiated among the mill workers of Lancashier, because they couldn't be heard above the deafening noise of the looms, even when they shouted. After a while, mee-mawing became a part of daily life, especially when it came to discussing embarrassing or saucy topics. Basically, you mee-mawed anything you didn't want people to overhear, even when there was no one around to listen in.
Bill, who had nudged the other customer out of the shop and locked the door, mee-mawed at him to wait.

Once a population becomes adapted to the tepui summit environment, it is more likely to colonize other areas with similar environmental conditions, so it would need to disperse between tepui summits to expand its geographical range.
One of the most dominant landscape features in the Gran Sabana is a flight of planation surfaces rising from modern sea level to the summits of the high tepui (Briceño and Schubert 1990).
On the other hand, because birds and small mammals are relatively rare on tepuis, the principal potential vertebrate food for snakes on tepui summits would seem to be frogs, most of which are nocturnal (e.g., species of Tepuihyla, Stefania, Hypsiboas, Pristimantis, Anomaloglossus, and Otophryne).

As I had asked for a night-light, the chamberlain had brought me in, before he left me, the good old constitutional rushlight of those virtuous days.
