Swedish: Mamma Hungarian: Anyu (no 'm' here. Probably to prepare young children for the fact that the language they are supposed to learn bears little resemblance to any other language in the world.) I think that babies tries out all simple vocal patters and when they find a real word (like mama, papa, amma or whatever) they get a lot of attention. That's the way they learn the language. /moliate

Two o'clock and walking through familiar London - Or what was familiar London before the cursor deleted certain certainties - I watch a suit and tie man giving suck to the Psion Organizer lodged in his breast pocket its serial interface like a cool mouth hunting his chest for sustenance, familiar feeling, and I'm watching my breath steam in the air.

Rubbish, my first word was 'antidisestablishmentarism'. "No, it's Mammy" my mother says. But even at age 3 I found this word too simple for my high intellect.
