You are clearly being not nasty enough as a critic. Thank you for another nice review.

I think "A Clockwork Orange" by Anthony Burgess had a scene or two that described some potential risks in such a scenario.

Aga ta korra juba läks Isamaast ära?

I remember that it has been argued that the deal in Iceland was for a 1000 years only.

Seega on võimalik esitada ka tõelisest pärisorjuse ajast inspireeritud ettepanekuid, näiteks lubada ettevõtte juhil või omanikul kõik töötajad mõnele Prigožini-taolisele ettevõtjale või kellele tahes maha müüa. Töölepingud eluaegseks ja päritavaks ilma võimaluseta neid üles öelda.

"Entoforcement" sounds intriguing. Will the insects be forced? Will someone have insects forced on them? Will the insects do the forcing? So many questions.

Did it have something to do with the presence of Navajo and Hopi reservations not so far away?

I still refuse to believe the bank skyscraper that was built in a former quarter of early 20th-century two-story wooden houses in the late 1990s. Wasn't there when I used to go past that place in a Czechoslovakian trolleybus on my way home from school.

Kontrollisin pealiskaudselt ja olen nüüd veendunud, et Delfis peaks olema jutt pärisorjuse-eelsest ajast. Jüripäeval isanda vahetamise õigus kadus pärisorjuse kehtestamisega.

Minu silma riivas viide pärisorjadele, kes saavat mõisnikku vahetada; hakkasin mõtlema pärisorjuse ja sunnismaisuse definitsiooni üle.

Selle sügisese jüripäevaga seoses räägitakse, et talupoeg võivat siis teise *maaomaniku* juurde minna, kui tal kõik kohustused on täidetud (16. saj). Mõistagi võis kehtida ka pärisorjuse ajal sulaste kohta.

Asjatundmatu küsimus: kas see oli ikka pärisorjuse aeg, kui talupoeg isandat vahetada sai?

I would support this initiative in a serious negotiation; however, I could support a compromise if it was an Inuit pidgin (any Inuit pidgin!), Votic, Mansi or even Finnish.

a translation of Milton's "wealth of Ormus and of Ind" has kept haunting me for years when the strait is mentioned

I mostly write in English to address a mixed audience of other Northern and Eastern Europeans. Unfortunately this lingua franca is used as the home language by some people. Very few people I today's Republic of Letters can easily read or write Latin (as they did three hundred years ago).
