Liletta had a truly unusual reason for thinking Clio was an anti-Semite. In fact, I bet no one else has ever been considered an anti-Semite for this reason. What is it? | ||

Liletta = H/A/F? Clio = H/A/F? Is Liletta Jewish? Is Clio? Was Clio actually an anti-Semite? Does Liletta think so because of something Clio said? did? wrote? Do they know each other? If so, are they relatives? friends? co-workers? Did Liletta misunderstand something? | ||

Did Liletta mishear something? E.g. "jews" instead of "juice"? Or does she rather misinterpret something? Does Clio say anything about Jews? Jewish culture? customs? Israel? Relevant where/when this happened? | ||

[LTPF list of decades] please, if relevant. Time of the year relevant? Time of day? Day of the week? Any religious holidays? Other holidays? [LTPF list of continents] please, if relevant. Is Clio's profession relevant? Liletta's? The thing that Clio said - a statement? a question? an answer? an exclamation? Did Clio know that one could misinterpret what she was saying as anti-semite? | ||

Did she something like it wasn't just jews that died in the camps? Was Clio being deliberately controversial? Or was she just trying to get a rise out of Liletta (one of your better names Nimue by the way)? Political correctness relevant at all? | ||

so clio used a word correctly? that liletta misunderstood? is it a word that is commonly misunderstood? or misused? and clio is unusual for using it in it's correct form? (like 'decimating' which is commonly used to mean destroying most of something when in fact it means to reduce by one tenth?) does clio know a particular language which allows her to know the correct meaning of the word? or is it just an unusual word? and liletta hadn't heard it before? or thought clio was saying something else? is it relevant why clio knows the correct use? has she had some kind of unusual education? unusual life experience? | ||
