Re: [AGA-mcm] 2005?



We are **so** off-topic here, but in Old English, the word "man" did indeed mean "human." A "wereman" was a male human and a "wifman" was a female human.

Hence also the origins of the words "werewolf" and "wife."

I agree that awkward newly constructed terms are nice.
Luckily they are needed, "people" and other perfecdtly
ordianry substitutions work just as well.
