What about posthume sabyàjà? :))) Because unless the xayijà are much less
conservative than us, most of the ones who will have really contributed to
knowledge will be recognised as such only after their death (think of Copernic,
Galileo, or even Einstein who got a Nobel Prize for something which had nothing
to do with the Relativity theory).

If it goes that way, I think it would be a nice place :)) .

But you said the words: social hierarchy. Whatever grounds it's based on, a
hierarchy always treats badly the ones at the bottom of it, even if it's only
by thoughts. As soon as you connect society with hierarchy, you cannot prevent
this from happening (unless of course the xayijà are much more enlightened than
us :))) ).

Yep, but it was not about the language itself, that's what I meant. It would be
a discussion more valid to the Conculture List (to which I send this mail to,
so that we can move the discussion there if you want).

LOL indeed! I'm honoured! How do you say "Thank you" in this situation? :))
