As a logician (in retirement, but my license has not been revoked) I have to protest that some things are impossible: that a thing both have and lack something at the same time and in the same respect, that there is a largest number, that (but this is trickier, I admit) there be a complete, consiste...

Maybe it should be 'Pijoloki'?

Oh dear! I never thought of philology, which does look just the same tpized. Yes, one minor tremor in tp-land is that, for a positive language, it seems to have mainly negative words, so, in this case, death but not life, Strictly speaking, 'lon' means (inter a whole lot of alia) "alive," ...

Well, 'kijetasantakalu' (or whatever) was a joke (dated April 1 and all) and I hope is not really going to turn up in anything tp (I suppose 'soweli Kinkasu' and the like might get in here in some way, but ...).
