Which is obviously bunk, since *rojmoHwI'* is a pretty easy word to figure out. Maybe he means the word didn't become a meme until Riva. *(va... qatlh mu'vetlh lulo'taH Hoch ghotpu'? naH jajmeywIj rojmoHwI' DISaHbe'; maSuv neH!)* -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

{rojmoHwI'} or {rojwI'}?
Either. I have always thought of *roj*/make peace/ to mean something like *marojpu'*/we made peace (with each other)./ The word doesn't seem like something you do to someone else. Therefore, the facilitator of our making peace is a *rojmoHwI'.* But if *roj*/make peace/ means to cause peace to come into existence, without necessarily implying that you were the one not at peace before, then *rojwI'* would work. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name

Or they meant there wasn’t a dedicated, non-derived word. Which is obviously also bunk, since by that measure English doesn’t have a word for “peacemaker” either, since “peacemaker” is obviously just “peace” + “maker”.
