Glen Proechel is currently occupied with his missionary work in Siberia. He
was home the last month and a half, but is headed back Tuesday.
Glen is very much concerned with Klingon and has devoted much of his recent
years to it. He has not joined this list, because he doesn't have the
equipment to be online -- and is not very "knowledgable" on computer's in
general. I have been forwarding "some" of the list contents that I felt he'd
find interesting or would be related to issues that he was concerned with. I
can't fax much to Russia and I can't afford to send much via mail.
Glen is my friend and when he asks me to post things "I WILL". If I see
something that I think would be nice to share with the list, I'll post it.
It's an open forum right?
Enough said I hope.

This point would seem to support DaQtIq's use of *nIv* for "elder" brother.
I think that is the point he is trying to make.
