	HUM OF THE DRUID (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Things eventually quiet down a bit and let a lot of really subtle textures (some faintly musical in a sense) swirl around in the lower levels with a very obscured and quiet sample that's a little hard to dig out of the resonant low-end pulses.
		This leads into the harsher, though still rather subdued and atmospheric, "Mamihlapinatapei" (an awkward title, though the word brilliantly translates to "a shared glance of longing where both know the meaning but neither is quite willing to make the move").
		"Mamihlapinatapei" takes on a slightly more brutish edge with some of the heavy noise elements rising closer to the surface and the ambience bubbling in the background.

		The Italian attaccabottone, for a boring person from whom it is impossible to escape, lacks a good English equivalent, though perhaps buttonholer comes close.
		In Tierra del Fuego, a mamihlapinatapei is a shared private and unspoken moment “when each knows the other understands and is in agreement with what is being expressed”.
		It’s a slim volume, with some small things to think about, but with the cultural background for each word severely constrained by the brief entry given to each.

		In Pascuense, tingo means "to borrow things from a friend's house, one by one, until there is nothing left" and hakamaru means "to keep borrowed objects until the owner has to ask for them back." Makes ya wonder what life must be like there, eh?
		Oh, and in Chile, in Fuegian, mamihlapinatapei: that shared look of longing where both parties know the score yet neither is willing to make the first move.

		mamihlapinatapei – a shared glance of longing between two people, each knowing the meaning and each wishing the other will initiate something where neither is quite willing to make the move.
		This word, cited in the Guinness Book of World Records as the "most succinct word", is from the Fuegian language of Tierra del Fuego at the extreme southern tip of South America.

		Judging from examples in Howard Rheingold's "They Have a Word For It", exotic languages harbor valuable conceptual resources, much the way exotic flora harbor commercial ones.
		The Tierra del Fuegan word "mamihlapinatapei", which connotes "a meaningful look, shared between two people, expressing mutual unstated feelings," has potentially broad applications beyond its place of origin.
		The same could be said of such words in the language of Easter Island as "anga-anga" ("a thought, perhaps groundless, that one is being gossiped about, arising from one's own sense of guilt") and "hakamaroo" ("the act of keeping borrowed objects until the owner has to ask for them back").

		L’Amerloque #45 MAMIHLAPINATAPEI - from the Fuengian language (Chile): a shared look of longing between parties who are both interested yet neither is willing to make the first move
		I thought that one had been translated in Hollywoodian as ‘Unresolved sexual tension or how to keep your audience for more seasons that the show can take’.
		It´ll take quite a lot of time to convince them (and the US tehmselves aren´t helping any with all that Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay business).
