Um. Have been browsing the Vulcan language dictionary; the religion section in particular is fascinating; though it's not clear what's archaic and what isn't. It looks as if Vulcan started out as polytheists and became monotheists; but rather surprisingly, they appear to have a concept analogous to angels (I'm thinking Platonic intelligences), and also to sin and redemption. Though it's not clear precisely what that would mean to a Vulcan, and to what extent this is the result of a lexicographer from a Jewish or Christian background trying to put things in his own terms...

I have also been trying to work out how you would express 'detachment', in the Ekhartian sense, in Vulcan.

Furthermore, I have discovered the lexeme Vashaya, and have decided that this is the term by which Vulcans will describe the catastrophe we see in the latest movie.

And, yes, I do have other stuff to do....

Intriguing. I must remember to check it out some time.

It's a very nice resource, though it would be more use if it made it clearer what the sources are....
