toH, quSDaq jIba'! Now that I see your email address again, I take it this
is an Internet nickname or, as the Romulans called them, a <rehei>? (See
Diane Duane's _The Romulan Way_ for the story of how the Seheikk'he, or "The
Declared" in Old Vulcan, developed these -- as well as the artificially
constructed Rihanssu language -- on their long odyssey to ch'Rihan and
ch'Havran.)
