         Q.  Whose translation of Being & Time did you read?
         A.  The more recent one.


                                                              Q.  Is translation the replacement
                                                                    of one word by another?
                                                              A.   When you die, you give up your
                                                                    body; some say you are translated.

                     Basil Bunting said you could understand poems
                     in languages you didn't know.  Listen with full attention.


                                 Jake said the words on the Brambu
                                 Drezi video were proto-Sumerian.
