I'd like to thank the person who posted the explanation of n'ha as a 
fictional construct by Marion Zimmer Bradley. It doesn't matter anymore,
but I think it's important for all bigshot linguists out there to tip
their hats to the Real Answer before getting sidetracked. While this is
really interesting, I am rolling on floor laughing at all those who 
had such a wonderfully serious debate about it. I didn't remember the
answer either. Now say "thank you for unconfusing us" and go on to 
the other discussion, which looks to me like a desperate attempt to 
cover for the fact that nobody caught on. Next thing someone will ask 
about Klingon. Please, please, please someone admit they felt just a wee
bit silly about the whole thing. It was a good question.
