Hey, neat!

I tried the rtemmu version of an old translation exercise,
"Language is a ford through the river of time..."
and to my suprise, it actually found a lang it thought was
close: Bikol  (at 0.0418).
    Bikol apparently is an Austronesian/Western Malayo-
Polynesian lang spoken by about 4 million people
in the Phillipines.
    (Ok, one _more_ natlang I'm going to have to learn
someday! :-)   )
    OTOH, this was followed by Swahili (0.0256),
Czech (0.0251), and Ojibwe (0.0240).
    I can see the Swahili because of the rate-markers
"na" and "nu" before words, and the Czech because
of the consonant clusters. But why Ojibwe, I wonder?
    Anyhow, lots of fun! Thanks, Padraic!
