- I'd like to thank the person who posted the explanation of n'ha as a
- fictional construct by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It doesn't matter anymore,
- but I think it's important for all bigshot linguists out there to tip
- their hats to the Real Answer before getting sidetracked. While this is
- really interesting, I am rolling on floor laughing at all those who
- had such a wonderfully serious debate about it. I didn't remember the
- answer either. Now say "thank you for unconfusing us" and go on to
- the other discussion, which looks to me like a desperate attempt to
- cover for the fact that nobody caught on. Next thing someone will ask
- about Klingon. Please, please, please someone admit they felt just a wee
- bit silly about the whole thing. It was a good question.
