well, I'm part of a project to put the Atevi (by CJ Cherryh) language
online...but there's not even ten pages online thus far....after 6 books've
been read.

so, post what you will.

and if you need any help (in putting it online), or just giving it a
read-over, feel free to give me an email.

I am, as is most of this list  here to help.


ps: if they don't have a word for  "mind"...do they have a word for
"thought" "think" or "consider" ?
just a thought.
