Element: Man
Symbol: Ah (short for Arsehole)
Quantitative: Average height 5' 9" but some isotopes can be as short as 5'.
Discoverer: Eve
Occurrence: Found following dual element Wo, often in high concentration near a perfect Wo specimen.

Physical properties:

• Obnoxious when saturated in alcohol
• Tends to fall into very low energy state directly after reaction with Wo.
• Gains considerable mass as specimen ages, loses reactive nature.
• Rarely found in pure form after 15th year.
• Often damaged as a direct result of unlucky reaction with polluted form of the Wo common ore.
  

Chemical properties:

• Nearly all forms desire reaction with Wo, even when no further reaction is possible.
• May react with several Wo isotopes in short period under extremely favourable conditions.
• Usually willing to react with what ever is available.
• Reaction Rates range from aborted/non existent to Pre interaction effects (which tend to turn the specimen bright red.
  

Storage:

• Best results apparently near 18 for high reaction rate, 25 35 for favourable reaction style.

Uses:

• Heavy boxes, top shelves, long walks late at night, free dinners for Wo.

Tests:

• Pure specimen will rarely reveal purity, while reacted specimens broadcast information on many wavelengths.

Caution:

• Tends to react extremely violently when other Ah isotopes interfere with reaction to a particular Wo specimen. Otherwise very malleable under correct conditions.
