Uncommon language question from Argentina: ARIPAL

[Anthea Fraser Gupta]

Aripal (or Arypal) seems to have circulation in some circles associated
with Aryan mysticism.  See:

http://www.santiagobovisio.com/esp/libros/libro37.htm

This "idioma desconocido de la ciencia europea" (hmm?) seems to be known
only through some sacred texts.

What is fascinating (and rather scary) to me is how
Indo-Europeanism/Aryanism is still a living mystical and racial idea to
some people.
