Do a web search for "Berinmo". There are numerous languages that don't
seem to fit the traditional color naming universals; Zun~i is the only
other one that comes to mind at the moment. I gather that the empirical
foundation for these so-called universals has become pretty shaky lately;
it's also possible that the whole concept of color naming universals is
empirically vacuous due to the lack of effective assessment techniques.
