Like the Spyker?

It's just that the TBird dictionary did not recognize discursion... Still don't quite get it:
v. dis·coursed, dis·cours·ing, dis·cours·es (d-skôrs, -skrs) v. intr.

1. To speak or write formally and at length. See Synonyms at speak.
2. To engage in conversation or discussion; converse.
3. tr. Archaic

     To narrate or discuss.

Is it archaic (to discuss) or not (see 2: engage in discussion - is that not a discussion?). Oh well, the beauty of (foreign) language(s)!
