<p>
I should know better than to ever put "final" in a subject line... At any
rate, I wanted to reply to the messages by Joey, Hans-Werner, and Phil.
<p>Re: Joey's message--yes, different lengths of days and years can make a
big difference! Of course, some science fiction authors have
deliberately exploited this, like Kim Stanley Robinson in his Mars books,
or Ursula K. LeGuin in _Planet of Exile_, which postulates a world in
which a "year" (in the sense of the four seasons) lasts a human
lifetime...
<p>To Hans-Werner: Salem! I actually live in Taraz (about 500 km west of
Almaty), but I come into the city every month or two and may be moving
there eventually,
so if you and your wife live in Almaty, I'll probably run into you before
I run into Mark. :-) I'm glad that you agree with the analysis--although
I should say that here in Taraz, the Kazakh language is much stronger,
especially in the rural areas, where the majority of the population
speaks Kazakh as a first language.
<p>To Phil: I read the FAQ regarding accent marks, so I'll give it a shot.
Dëkuy!
<p>Poka, sau bolyngdar, and Ad onlelán,
<br>Glenn
