	Welcome to the Society for the Restoration of Lost Positives!

	Actually, I've seen "couth" used for quite some time; I'm not sure
that it quite qualifies as a lost positive. But try these on for size:

	kempt                There are some others that friends have come
	sheveled             up with, but they escape me at the moment.

I'm sure it is inevitable that everybody has thought of evitable.

Note that well-kempt is the opposite of unkempt, even though kempt is lost.
