I thought of this, also, and agree...  I guess that the Mahendo'sat are just
backbiting enough to be similar to us, kkkkkkt?  We almost got the equivalent
of a stsho book in _Chanur's Legacy_, and I thought that it was effective.

Has anyone read any of Cherry
h's more recent books _and_ read _Legacy_?  I'd like to hear a stylistic
comparison across her genres-- _Legacy_ seemed much more light-hearted and
reflective, and I'm wondering if that's Hilfy's perspective (very screwed up,
but trying hard anyhow) or a trend in Cherryh's writing.

Oh-- and a message from a friend of mine, to y'all:


t'ca		stsho		kif		mahendo'sat	hani
human		human		human		human		human
Earth		Earth		Earth		Earth		Earth
peace		peace		peace		peace		peace
give		give		give		give		give


Y'all should have _seen_ the matrix it took to explain Christmas to him :>
