I thought about that too, but in the languages we surveyed there were no such instances. Nice to know that there actually are languages that do that. :) I've thought about doing that with Rinya. The Nakiltipkaspimak might do it too, but I don't think the Seimi suddenly will change all the names of their animals (it's a posteriori). Obvious ObConlang: Is there a connection between the names of the animals and the sounds they make in your respective conlangs? :) ||| daniel -- <> Daeselaidh goddi mis giall! <> daniel.andreasson@telia.com <> <> Lwodadh giall! <> www.geocities.com/conlangus <>
