Mea culpa, mea culpa.  I am mortified at having been caught (a) using  
Wikipedia as a definitive source--I wouldn't take a term paper based  
on Wikipedia, either--and (b) imposing a scientific classification of  
rodents ("true rats") when the issue is clearly one where folk  
classifications should take precedence (ch'o'ow must include a lot of  
rodents, including the woodrats).
