I would suspect that if such words exist in tribal languages, they were recently
coined or borrowed--after all, many of them are relatively new concepts even
in the cultures which they originated in. Â Words for these terms exist in
all the languages that I speak, but many are relatively recent coinaged created
to deal with new concepts. Â The important thing is that both languages and
cultures are flexible, and can accomodate new concepts as needed.<br>
