    Sounds like mama are probably the only ones a baby can make with a nipple in its mouth. :) Dave Goodman dgoodman@infoway.com www.dkgoodman.com "Actio sequitur esse."

          Yeah, At a guess I'd say it is one of the easiest soundz for a baby's mouth to say and so it became quickly attributted to calling for the mother. Regardz Colin J Davies

              The word MOTHER is English. In Malayalam/Tamil it's AMMA. In Hindi it's MA. The English variations include MAMA, MOM, MUMMY. They all have this M sound about them. Funny huh? Maybe it's natural for a baby to use an M sound to call it's mother. Maybe even the cavemen of the stone age had M sounding worlds for MOM Nish

                      time to get a book on linguistics. there's a reason english and hindi (and dozens of other modern languages) are each known as Indo-European langauges. -c
