Also, Chota definitely does mean \"small\" in Hindi--you may remember\nfrom your Kipling that a \"chota peg\" was a small whiskey--and I think we can\ntrust the other terms (I remind you that I lived in Bombay for a while, but\nI never got beyond pidgin so can't be defiite).\n\n-alga\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
