08-08-07, 02:46 AM Well, let's see, considering you were playing around with the Latin name for bears, it might be fun to play with the word for 'bear' in other Indo-European languages.

Interesting linguistic fact: the Sanskrit word for bear is rakshas (meaning 'harm') and is the root of rakshasa.

Gee, that sounds awfully close to, uhm, ehr, something-holes, if you get my drift.

I can see it now: a band of goblins celebrating a victory over the arthols: "We've upped the Arthols!"

"We tore those Arthols a new one!"

"I really stuck it to those dirty Arthols."

"Did you see that guy? He really pounded that one Arthol hard!"
