Re: ,Language' in language name?

        Mine do, at least indirectly.  What's most embarrassing is the
case of Vaior.  OR is the root for the general idea of speaking,
including speach ('oria' - parole, as distinct from langue).  Early in
the language I may construct a name for it just so I don't have to
call it 'it.'  Generally, the name will break down into 'my language'
in the language in question, which happens to be the case for Vaior.

        The reason this is all so strange for the Vaior case is that
other people actually know it (to various degrees).
