Yeah, you're right. FWIW, the particular flavor of the "words" file on one system on which I have an account has a mere 38 words in "-lk", and of those: - 4 are proper nouns (Norfolk, Polk, Salk, Suffolk) - 5 are compounds with "folk" - 7 are compounds with "walk" - 1 (shoptalk) is a compound with "talk" - 1 (buttermilk) is a compound with "milk" - 1 (cornstalk) is a compound with "stalk"
So that only leaves a mere 19 non-proper non-compounds in this particular definitely non-exhaustive but big English word list (which didn't include "filk")
