That's a great term. :)

Now I'm having second thoughts about my work, now that it is morning and I
have seen it again. I wonder:

1. to what extent should the articuloid be used at all, with "qens",
"manna", "waurms", "frauja {sa} guth", etc.?

2. should the word "adam" be kept or translated as "mann(a)(n)"? In the
first case, I would have to include an articuloid with it to show its case
in certain places (i.e. dative especially); in the second case this is
simplified, but you don't hear the word "adam" which might be important to
the story.
