vIQIj:
We have words for "brother" {loDnI'} and "sister" {be'nI'} but not 
"(identical) twin."  Since they mirror each other in appearance--and not 
unoften, behaviour--I thought {SIla' loDnI'} might be a workable (if 
imperfect) circumlocution for twin (brother).  It's as close as I could 
come to "clone" without specific vocabulary.

As for the "81st transmission", has the list specific terminology for 
television seasons/episodes?
