I found this old message while searching for the source of {mIllogh}. The
pun is obvious, at least to me.
In French (and other Latin-descended languages), "mille" means "thousand".
In Persian (and some other Central Asian languages), "loghat" (=D9=84=D8=BA=
=D8=AA) means
"word".
Does MO know any Middle Eastern or Central Asian language? This and
{tlhIm} suggests that he does, or at least knows a few words. (I suppose
it would not be too difficult for a linguist, or anyone really, to look up
words in a dictionary in another language.)
