looked in the dictionary, and both quadra and tetra mean 'four' but 
one is from greek roots and the other from latin?? is that correct, 
or am I just talking rubbish? :o)

Yeah, thanks Jonathan, I just checked too and you're spot on. I knew 
Quadra- came from Latin and indicated 'four' but I hadn't heard 
of 'tetra' until I saw the word tetrapolar.

Thanks for information :-)
