Hm. I guess I'll have to try to remember this? Although in the case
of "my" chaos, once I have a Vulcan word for it, that can be two we
use the same way..,as long as you don't mind that cthia ~ kia. Then,
because we will have eliminated the need for the English (Greek?)

Uh-huh. That's exactly why I think we may need something else for
glottal stops: because glottal stops are something else.
