Ennis's nonverbal communication conveyed the intangibles of emotion and desire.

"L" is languages

Joe Aguirre's sheepherders and the Chilean sheepherders spoke different languages, which made the job of untangling the mixed sheep even more difficult.

"M" is mangle

The hailstorm managed to mangle the order of the sheep, thus requiring untangling in different languages.

"N" is notoriously

Singaporean cinemagoers will be able to watch Ang Lee's feted cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain uncut from tomorrow, despite the island republic's definition of gay sex as an act of gross indecency punishable by a maximum of two years in jail.

Granted, only over-21s will be able to watch it in cinemas and promotional material will carry a consumer advisory saying "mature theme, sexual scenes", but some are already hailing the move as a sign of loosening censorship in the notoriously tightly controlled city state.

"O" is overhang

At a formal dinner, the tablecloth overhang is supposed to be about 10 to 15 inches; the overhang of Lureen and Jack's tablecloth appears to fall within that range.

"R" is ranger

On the off chance that a ranger from the Forest Service might be snooping around, Aguirre instructed the to herder to "Pitch a pup tent on the Q.T. with the sheep....no fire, don't leave no sign."

"S" is shadow

They shook hands in the choky little trailer office in front of a table littered with scribbled papers, a Bakelite ashtray brimming with stubs. The venetian blinds hung askew and admitted a triangle of white light, the shadow of the foreman's hand moving into it. Joe Aguirre, wavy hair the color of cigarette ash and parted down the middle, gave them his point of view.

When Alma asked Ennis about his "fishing trips", he created a tangle of lies.

At the Lake Scene, Jack lamented the unchangeability of Ennis's mind.
