(Karra explains how the languages of different parts of Sirius have their own languages as well as a common language all Sirians speak. It’s considered polite to speak the common language when around others who speak in a different language.)

Karra: hello.

Russ: hello my love.

Karra: hmm, we do have our positioning on how we come on. It is as a rule Tia first, then our censor and then always myself and then it will be the guest speaker and if we have another guest speaker it will be that speaker and then last of all my sister.

Russ: that’s true.

Karra: uh-huh, it’s always the same setup.

Russ: well it’s a nice way to do it, kind of a like……

Karra: yes.

Russ: a five course meal.

Karra: uh-huh, with the light, sugary individual last. Light, sugary and syrupy.

(Russ chuckles over the humorous description)

Karra: okay, now where have we got to?

Russ: well we got quite a bit to work on here.

Karra: okay let’s answer your questions first.

Russ: okay, let’s see first off with the speech patterns of as we’re talking about with Korton between the two different sectors. Does that mean that when Huna is speaking in their private language you can’t understand what they’re saying?

Karra: there are some words that I can catch and other words that I can’t. When they talk fast, it is hard for me to understand them and Kiri also nods.

Russ: hmm, okay.

Karra: but also there is a courtesy thing that if there is a person that speaks another language, let us say I am president and Huna and Leah are talking, they will speak in the common language of Sirius even if it is private, intimate conversation because that is rude not to.

Russ: uh-huh.

Karra: I do not know if they are saying something derogatory about me or cracking some joke that I should be aware of and find amusing. So it is something that is considered very rude to speak in your own language if there is a person around that does not speak your language.

Russ: I see, okay. All right, now what is your opinion on setting this up in the webpage as the Tenuvial and Tanaka clans?

Karra: I know your thoughts and we will think about it.

Russ: okay.

Karra: but we’re not opposing clans, we’re just........

Russ: understandable, it’s an interesting way of describing the heritage of Sirius where we see earth history in many different forms but until you get down right to the family roots of it you don’t really see the history.

Karra: no.

Russ: just like the Hatfield's and McCoy’s.
