LOL.  The Kash have computers-- celipin < celiya 'electric' + contraction of
pila 'think'.  No word for 'network' just now, but the WWW will be NETWORK
yukinda < yuno 'all' + hinda 'world'.   Since it's been in existence for
around 300 years, presumably by now it's relatively simple to use-- even if
it was devised by Gwr scientists.
