Oh! Some of the ethnoi were not autochthonous? Well, that explains everything!
Thanks for clearing that right up! :)
I (perhaps erroneously) consider myself fairly well-versed in the
lingo, but that statement has not much more meaning to me than "some
of these filiwigs were not zellarite". :) I'm guessing an "ethnoi"
is an "ethnic group"? Does "autochthonous" mean "occurring via
spontaneous outgrowth from the existing population"?
