To All:

I was not aware that the word "were" originally meant "man" -- if so, then I withdraw the suggestion about hsunchen. Maybe -- I guess it would depend on whether _Greg_ meant "were" as "man" or "were" as "the first part of werewolf".

Can anyone tell me the linguistic origin of this word, or any modern day words (besides werewolf, etc.) which we can relate it to? Although not an exact science, linguistics is one of the best tools for studying Glorantha, IMO.
