Words

In some of my random playing around with of words I came across the idea of words in pre/post literate societies and the recreation of missing words. The fact that a preliterate tongue would have no need for the word 'write' or 'philology' does not mean we, as post literate people, cannot create that word from our knowledge of the tongue and the origins of languages. It is sort of a one way street, the ability to look back and alter what their language was intentionally, suddenly giving a preliterate people the ability to use literacy all in their own tongue. No borrowed words required.
