Well, you might be right. I didn't put it clearly, but it's only my

Oh, may I say that I used a wrong word. It's not a pun, but might be a
pointer. I will stick to my statement, tough, that a translator should
notice every similarity in semantics or phonetics of words used by the
author (espiecially our VN here). I can tell you, for example, I see a
flower or a herb on every other page of Ada. It's ridiculous, isn't it?

But, if you do it on a regular basis? I'm not a physician, but I suppose
that you may cool off yourself down there - and that could lead to a
serious disease (with all that dirt involved - now, here's a pun). Correct
me, if I'm wrong.
Best,
Tomasz
