I like. What say you guys? Oooh, i like this a lot! It's very nice too. And if you choose "limba" it would trick some who know into thinking it's related to Rumanian :) (of course you could go with "linda". Would be a neat linguistic trick and fool Spanish speakers into thinking you mean "beautiful")
Yeah, I think this is definitely what C-o is going to do. Yeah, I like the "linda" ambiguity. It could make for some nice poetic twists since linda *could* be the word for beautiful in C-o, too. Where does linda come from? Beautiful seems to come from a lot of different sources in Romance.
