The 'Chinese' Theory: For and Against

[oshfdk]

Jorge, are you able to propose what otaiin, okaiin and qokaiin could mean?

Could be "its", "and", "is", "are", if features like these are missing in Chinese, but exist in the original eastern language of the Chinese theory. If we are talking about oriental languages, these also could be classifiers (similar to European articles, but specific to a particular type of objects). The fact that one language has a pattern of repeated words that is missing from another language doesn't mean that the texts are not a direct translation.

Compare the Chinese original and the English translation in the article, the English translation has quite a few recurrent words that have no correspondence in the Chinese text.
