Hello Paulh! I must admit I've no idea if it were the males or females or both that butted heads, or even if they did actually butt heads...

Hi Prof! Thanks. Well imagine you lived in this country ... people here have names like Rolihlahla (and you have to pronounce the hl's), Ampfaritsaho, Mahlatse ...

Do you recognize one of those names?
