He had a plain explanation, with other old and modern Romance
examples showing the same semantical correlation between left-
handedness and mechanical inability (further related eventually
to being tired) for the corresponding words. That is to say
there are very few arguments not already covered in previous
discussions, and if he still rises up this problem it's a matter
of unability to cope with them, not of missing them. It's still
worthwhile to mention that his point of view is not supported by
Romanian linguists. I'm deeply sorry that questions not related
to canonical cybalist issues are still tenaciously reasked on
this list.
