Several francophones (I started to write "phrancophones" :-)) have broken
their heads on this silly sentence already, so I won't even try. At any
rate, the abstract noun "nyania" and the corresponding verb form "nyait"
are neologisms, and what they mean, Lacan only knows. The whole thing is
a fine specimen of the Higher Nonsense.
