Re: House languages




With respect to the "masculine/feminine" thing:

One interesting thing I noted is that the word for "to marry" is
different for males and females. ("Saw" for males, "nay" for females.)
I wonder where this comes from?

Also, the word for "female/woman" is "be'", which sounds the same as
the "general negation" suffix. (This reminds me of something I've
heard, that the word for "woman" in Tibetan can be literally
translated as "low birth".)
