- Hmm... i like "-gen"... it's a nice suffix. It reminds me of the David Brin "Uplift" science-fiction novels where the multi-species clan founded by Humans, and including Neo-Dolphins, Neo-Chimpanzees, and possibly others is known as the "Terragens". -Stephen (Steg) "rest / rest and listen / rest and listen and learn, creideiki / for the startide rises in the currents of the dark / and we have waited long for what must be..." ~ _startide rising_ by david brin
