Thanks Linda!

Mahsie for your clarification on the use of the word
"sikhs" and it's particular use by the Hudson sisters.
Your explanation clarified very much Dave's answer and
 indicated the likely reason for the gender bias.

On the idea that the the Wawa is being modified by end
users, isn't there an authority similar to the French
Academy for the Wawa?

In any event, writing in the Wawa is out for me in the
future until some accurate resources are available,
instead of the old, obsolete, "pidgin" type texts as
even simple words can be misleading. A clear example
of this is that the term I had always heard and used
for rabbit was "kwitshadie"; but until the last Lu?lu
there was no information available to me that the term
was incorrect - until someone kindly corrected me at
the last Lu?lu. But the conferences are just too short
to convey much of this information - in the previous
two conferences I had attended this had never come up
- and so incorrect usage was perpetuated. Given this,
I have abandoned writing in the Wawa for the
forseeable future, until such time as a contemporary
resource is available.
