Sort of the origin of some words? Hum, we use Jargon or Slang,
or maybe Creole or like word..

Scot well, they are still figuring out, was the Picts Celtic
(related to Welsh/Cymru) or related to Irish?

I know from what I have read, Scoti, which came out as Scot, was
a term the Romans used for Irish Pirates, many who worked out of
what is now Scotland, or norhern England, not sure of all the
details but.. True about the Scots and all, and the origin of
their name for themselves.. 5th or 6th century?

It is like Pagan, some use it for pride, and some do not.. Pagi
= Tribe or Rural.

Wierd how it goes. Like Eskimo here in Alaska, it is not a good
word, but here it is used cause we have more than one variety of
Eskimos, so its a term of convenience..

Siberian Yupik, Chupik, Aleutiq, Inupiat/Inuit, Yupik and
others..

I once was to do a Tengwar for Inupiaq but lost my books, job
and moved.. So lost the project, but .

Hum, will see about the use of Lingo, or Lingua or something..
Amazing the small things that people get pissy about.
