I read the Chanur Saga last semester, because my best friend loves Cherryh. And now I love Cherryh, or at least the portions of it that involve Pyanfar Chanur.
Of course, this semester, we are in a Science Fiction class together, and have been babbling back and forth about the scientific implausibility of the zombies in a short story we read for class. She related the myth that whenever someone thinks too hard about the science in a sci-fi novel, God kills a catgirl, and said that I clearly cared far less about catgirl wellness than she does. My response was that as long as the catgirl wasn't Pyanfar, I was okay with this. Then came the argument about whether or not the hani count as catgirls...
Um. Yes. Babble!
Conlang swears for the win. Especially engai. Because that needs to exist as a swear.
