I really enjoyed your comments on Tekumel and Tekumel gaming! I played with the Professor for the better part of fifteen years - I was one of the founders of the original Thursday Night Group - and we never played in his world in the way you descrbe; yes, there were languages, but they never got in the way of the story.
I think what you describe is what's the barrier to people starting out in the Tekumel world-setting - the perceived 'need to get it right'. Im my time, I didn;t see that with phil, nor with Gary and Dave when I played with them. Ask Old Geezer; he can tell you too... :)
yours, jeff
