Talking about conculture and conreligion and conetiquette, the Rokbeigalm
believe that worshipping their deity is rude. They have a word for
"pray", _davihn_, which is a native Rokbeigalmki word (RL it comes from
Yiddish "davnen"), but their word for "worship", _peres_ comes from a
Proto-Elven root meaning "to disturb".
