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! :-)
