Recently I found some new Magdalenian words: MUC
for a bull or bison, PAC for a horse, BIC for game, also
for an ibex or a wild boar, CUM for a group of hunters,
and MAS for the chief hunter, leader of the CUM. Old
words are OC for eye in general, for the right eye in
particular, AY or EY for the left eye. Now if you are
a hunter, member of a CUM, and if you see a bison,
a horse, or a deer before you, you alarm the MAS
by saing: MUC or PAC or BIC. If you see the same
animals on the side of your left eye, hence on the
left side, you say: MUC AY or PAC AY or BIC AY.
If you see them on the right side you say: MUC OC
or PAC OC or BIC OC. Very short and informative,
and the sounds are different enough so as not being
confounded. (In my experimental reconstruction of
Magdalenian as it might have been spoken 15,000
years ago in the Guyenne I always cared about a
clear understanding, a reasonable distance between
similar sounding words.)
