Re: "Men of Sanghelios"

I blinked at "Men of Sanghelios" and then I realized something. Most Native tribes' names for themselves simply mean "People." So when the Sangheili are saying "men," they don't mean "human men," they mean "males of our species." English doesn't have a word to refer to males of non-human sentient species....so maybe neither does Sangheili-ese. Or else, "men" was the closest English translation to what Sangheili males call themselves. --Fil
