Re: Did you say OSV? Was: Arawakan.

Going rather OT here - but a few months ago on British telly there was a
documentary about the Caribs (same general geographical area as Arawak) of
some island in, very appropriately, the Caribbean. They wanted to sail to
the Northern part of S.America (Surinam, I think...) to 'solidarify' with
their long-lost linguistic cousins. The main protagonist behind the whole
idea, however, was not a Carib but a Brit - and his name (really!) was
Aragorn.
