I'm sure nobody meant to imply any disapproval of your desire for this word=

we ever do). Personally, I'd love to have a word specifically for this, ev=

There is a pretty pervasive attitude among jatlhwI'pu' that we have all the=
words we need; expressing new concepts is only a matter of ingenuity.
For the most part, I think that's a good attitude to have, but we can perha=
