Re: ,Language' in language name?

    The English term "Gladilatian" doesn't, but the Gladilatian term for
itself, _mehyohot_mset_, does.  _Mset_ is "language".  _Mehyohot_mset_ is
"language of the gladifers".  "Gladilatian" comes from "Gladilatia" (a
planet name) which comes from "gladifer" (a species name) which is a
word coined from Latin roots meaning "swordbearer" (because gladfers' horns
resemble swords).
