Kélen has eight basic directions as follows: N = ja élkie to the N = rú élkie in the N = sú élkien the North = lji sóthélkien these are probably related to the word for ice, but not necessarily. NE = ja thíñie to the NE = rú thíñie in the NE = sú thíñien the North-East = lji sóththíñien these are probably related to the word for mountain pass. NW = ja tárie to the NW = rú tárie in the NW = sú tárien the North-West = lji sóthtárien these are probably related to the word for rain. E = ja ánnie to the E = rú ánnie in the E = sú ánnien the East = lji sóthánne these are definitely from the word for beginning. W = ja órrie to the W = rú órrie in the W = sú órrien the West = lji sóthórre these are definitely related to the word for ending. S = ja sírie to the S = rú sírie in the S = sú sírien the South = lji sóthsírien these are probably related to the word for dry. SE = ja látie to the SE = rú látie in the SE = sú látaren the South-East = lji sóthlátaren these may be related to the word for cliff. SW = ja háwie to the SW = rú háwie in the SW = sú háwien the South-West = lji sóthháwien these are probably related to the word for shore -- Sylvia Sotomayor sylvia1@ix.netcom.com http://home.netcom.com/~sylvia1/ from Caldera 2.4 Linux
