>Heh, I just remembered that I read in _The Language Instinct_ by Steven >Pinker that the word for dog in a certain Australian Aboriginal language is ><dog> :)Is this their word for dingo, or for dogs in general? I understand that the dingo is Australia's only native canine. Other dogs were brought by the English. Perhaps the Aborigines borrowed "dog" from the English? ~alypius
