If you realy wanted to be evil, you could throw stress and/or length in there
to make distinctions as well.

I don't like my name ("Angel Rivera"), so I don't use it on the Net.  I don't
generally use it RL either, but then I don't get much opportunity to.

How would that or "Muke Tever" brithenighize?  'Tever' is from the Tiber
river.  I still don't remember if 'Muke' /mjuk/ comes from anything (but I'm
told it's likely from 'mook'--they both mean, broadly, a stupid or incompetent
person).

Is that actual, or assumed?  Hadn't the South remained separate had they not
attacked the North?  Would a state's peaceful secession be respected?
