  • Appraisals greatly appreciated, along with any comments ...
  • The prospective buyer is likely to use the domain as the interface for a proprietary search engine(s)
  • Given 'sirtch' is not a real English word, there is no keyword data available. In lieu a friend who studied in languages helped me with a quick linguistic comparison of 'sirtch' and 'search' (highlights below) [... if nothing more, it was an interesting 1/2 hour of learning for me! :yes: ]

Linguistics Highlights:

Overall, there is clear linguistic bias in support of the perception/adoption of 'sirtch' & 'search' interchangeability.

What does this mean ..?
1) Few words, if any, would be better suited to meet the goal of (perceptual) interchangeability.
2) This would be helpful for comparative pricing purposes (... but I'm not sure how it helps set an initial price range...??)


Phonology is a subfield of linguistics which studies the way sounds function within a given language.
  • 'Sirtch' and 'search' are perfect homophones (sound-wise, their pronunciations are identical)
  • As perfect homophones, by definition they are also perfect (identical) rhymes.

Semantics
refers to aspects of meaning, as expressed in language.
  • 'Sirtch' is not a defined English word, nor is an acronym or short-hand for any English word. Thus there is no semantic impediment to interchangeability.

Morphology
is the field within linguistics that studies the internal structure of words.
  • As 'sirtch' is not an actual word, no lexeme (root word) comparative analysis is possible.
  • Common opening ('s') and closing ('ch') characters; and the identical overall character count (n=6) are both strong visual cues that support interchangeability.
