Aw, thanks. ^_^ But it's only temporary. Come 3Am I hafta get back in the car for 12 more hours. XP I keep telling dad we'd get there faster if he let Me drive but he says he'd like us there the same way we left. :stare:

But I just had to visit you guys; if only for a few hours.

<icy stare> Very funny "Guest". You. Go away.

What is "Kiffish"?

Hmm, I thought you had bet with your mom you could stay away here for the duration of the trip or something. Or are you going on another trip now?

I do. Technically since we're hitting home base for a few hours to sleep we're not "on" the trip, so I can still win. Any other time since we've been staying with extended family would be rule violation. :lol:

It's from an SF series "The Pride of Chanur" by C.J. Cherryh. The Kif are a race with two independent sets of jaws (one inside the other). A typical name looks like: Sikkukkukt a'nikkikkto. After names it gets worse.

....that's a lot of 'k's. I think it beats most anything I've read for impronouncability. :blink:

The dude was obviously smoking something in his pipe.

Me says to say she bets it was accidental and he was probably so stoned he held the "k" key down without realizing and decided to call it "orginal" the next morning when he came to.

Heh. Actually, C.J. Cherryh is one of the most frugal writers I've ever heard of. Reader's Digest tried to run a condensed version of one of her books once - they couldn't figure out how to condense it. There wasn't anything they could take out unless they started pulling entire sub-plots or main story elements. There were no spare words.

...huh, that's not a way I would have thought of to pronounce it. I almost always prnounce all the vowels in my names I make up (though my 'i's tend to sound like 'ee's and my 'y's like short 'i's). Though, like you said, it is pretty.

I bet she was trying to write a name without k's and either she was stoned or maybe her cat was sitting on the "k" key and she was just like "THat's cool. I like it."
