That's the second message I've read today where you used "ferinstanz"
for "for instance". It's a perfect name for a Rhean province. There are a
few Rhean words that end in -nz (looking it up: benz, klienz, klinz,
k'öglenz, konz, marinz, menz, redanz, stanz, s'emanz, ühic'anz) so it
sounds like a native word.
Now I just need to give the people of Ferinstanz their own dialect.
Anyway, forgive this tangent.
