Well, this is an "external" gap, as opposed to an "internal" gap in the
language... and it's fixed now, anyway. But i like saying about how
Rokbeigalmki existed for around 3 years before i came up with a word for
"sibling" (_ro.ijh_), but for most of that time it did have a word for
"multitudinous" (_sudtarme_)!
