That's exactly why I think we may need something else for >glottal stops: because glottal stops are something else. What do you mean, glottal stops "are" something else? BTW, I kind of like A'tha for < >. Although I do not like Duane's idea that vulcan's have always had this. It does not by itself, explain why vulcan's had lots of religions - human have lot's of religions and most humans do not have any experience of A'tha. But, it does make sense to me, for vulcans to start to get that experience after learning to practice cthia. It simply follows logically that after practicing methods to eliminate all blocks to clear perception and thinking one would begin to "grok" the universe as it exist. Now, we just need a vulcan verb that means to "grok" >;-| Rob
