To All:

I was not aware that the word "were" originally meant "man" -- if so,
then I withdraw the suggestion about hsunchen. Maybe -- I guess it would
depend on whether _Greg_ meant "were" as "man" or "were" as "the first
part of werewolf".

Can anyone tell me the linguistic origin of this word, or any modern day
words (besides werewolf, etc.) which we can relate it to? Although not an
exact science, linguistics is one of the best tools for studying
Glorantha, IMO.
