work with a highly individualistic group in Panama (also in Colombia). For the
most part, foreign ideas such as those we are faced with in translating the
Bible can be communicated. But since you are looking for cases where the
culture dictates the lack of certain words, I have one. The individualistic
Emberas have no word for "group". They have plenty of words for activities
that groups do, they differentiate collective and individualized plural number
and so on, but no word for "group".<BR><BR>-Chaz MOrtensen</TT></BLOCKQUOTE><!-- |**|end egp html banner|**| -->
