Do we need to obtain Faucounau's book to find out his proposed
transliteration and translation? I couldn't find either on the
web. As Marius asked earlier, what is _eimion_ (or is it _eimieion_
as at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cybalist/message/27729 ) assumed
to mean? A bit of context would help, because there may be several
possibilities, some of which require less supposition than others.
