Part of my original reason for developing Jarrda was from dissatisfaction
with certain features of English vocabulary, but it would really be an
enormous task to resolve those issues. Since Jarrda is now the language =
of
the Janarr raccoon-people, this is no longer an issue, but Tirelat has
inherited to some degree a desire to "improve" on the English vocabulary.
