That Cadhinor morpheme, bu-, does it indeed come from Chinese (where bu means NOT)
<p>Another nice borrowing is Frälina - German Fraulein. It really jumped out.
<p>Btw.: why don't you use Unicode in your pages? All modern browsers can read it.
<hr><i>Mark responds:
<p>Yes, bu- is from Chinese. (I used Chinese more in some of the other
Almean languages.)
<p>As for Unicode, it's coming, but I think it isn't yet time. Not everyone
has a 'modern' browser, and if they do they may not have a Unicode font.
Me, for instance: my iMac doesn't have any font that supplies the hacheks
needed for Verdurian. And I don't want to make people download fonts
just to see my pages.
