I wasn't following the insult thread. What does "mutu" mean? In Tokana, "mutu" means "fence" or "dividing wall", which isn't exactly an insult - and could even be construed as complimentary, if you agree with Robert Frost that "good fences make good neighbours". :-)

Any chance of getting her to join the list? Mothers of three are generally super-busy people, but we have at least one on this list already, Mia Soderquist. (Mia and Pia, I like it...) Anyhow, be sure to welcome her to the world of conlanging on behalf of all of us. (And a special "vaelkommen" from us Swedish speaking conlangers...) Matt.
