So you are considering some words interesting but you didn't
actually verify they're interesting. How interesting...

> Ergo, I did came with clear linguistical data

No. This is not linguistical data, this is a list of words or, if
you prefer, "linguistical material". It becomes data only if some
meaning is attributed to it. Up till now, it's just a list of terms
you find "interesting" without any prior check.

So why on earth you've posted that list? just to tell everybody
on cybalist that you've brilliantly compiled a list of interesting
words? what do you really expect from people reading your message?!

> Thing which I intend to do .

The right procedure would be eventually to post not a long list
but words analysed and with some arguments to sustain your claims.
And not in an unique long message but word by word.

Have fun,
