at risk again

[Jan E.M. Houben]

On translations and esp. the
(non)translatability/(non)identifiability of Skt.
animal names (cf. the eight-legged zarabha!) see
Francis Zimmermann's "Junglebook" I think the
title was The jungle and the aroma of meats,
english version appeared ca. 1987, Berkeley,
Univ. of California.
