	Scuse me, just a little side comment: IT'S NOT OLD ENGLISH OR MIDDLE ENGLISH!
	Trust me on this: Old and Middle English at first glance do not look much
like modern English.  What Kuno speaks, when he is translated into English, is
Shakespearian/Elisibithian English.
	Old and Middle English will read to someone who only knows Modern English
like an Oscar fic.  (I've tried reading a few bits of Old & Middle English.
More verb forms then Hellenistic Greek.)
