I was tempted to change Great Father to Great Mother, since the word for father is rather scientific, fathers not being a part of their culture. And to actually know who one's father is, and respect him more than any other person would seem unusual to the Kassi'. But, I decided not to change the text that much. Ironic, since if I had, I'd've changed the sex back! :-) -- "Old linguists never die - they just come to voiceless stops." - anonymous http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/Books.html ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
