A sample of the power within

A man is being beaten up by a small group of people for some alleged misdemeanour.  A commonly respected person arrives on the scene. He says: ‘Why are you beating him?’

What happens? It depends. If the word used for ‘him’ is avan, nothing much is gained. For the beating may continue. If the word for ‘him’ is ayaal, then the beating may subside slowly.

However, if the respected person is saying ‘Adheham’ or ‘Avar’, then the beating would immediately stop, and the mob would go into a pose of obsequious apology.

This silly sample incident is given here to simply give an idea of the different social meaning each word has.
