Wow, we're going at warp speed here, aren't we? It's the first time we've
ever been able to race along together, and I must say it's a thrill.

Anyway, I want to back up "Dorp" as Dutch/Africans (sp?) and Wijzer probably
too. Also, Chota definitely does mean "small" in Hindi--you may remember
from your Kipling that a "chota peg" was a small whiskey--and I think we can
trust the other terms (I remind you that I lived in Bombay for a while, but
I never got beyond pidgin so can't be defiite).
