Re: Fw: [tied] Re: swallow vs. nightingale

This does not answer my question about "water" at all.

As regards the word "son",

Chinese Sun1 is also strangely familiar.

As for males and females not living in the same rooms,

I visited 10 years ago a Hani family, in YunNan

where sexes lived separated.

It 's exotic and interesting but

I still do not see where your references about "water" are about.
