Re: OT: terms for people with different hair colours

Still never heard of it! Is this American English? I'd just say "a little
old grey-haired lady" or something similar.
Incidentally, to return to conlangs: Omina has a word "lambasu" meaning
literally 'youngbeard' which specifically refers to certain humans that the
Auleri have had contact with. It was used to describe people who were 'old
before their time, joyless' since Auleri men begin to age rapidly only
towards the end of their lives, and did not grow beards until those times in
their lives.
