Ieķiķinot par ![[info]](http://klab.lv/img/userinfo.gif) unpy šodienas norādi uz Borhesa pseidoķīniešu klasifikāciju, palasījos tās pašas vikipēdijas linkus un uzgāju jauku piemēru par ne-Rietumu pasaules klasifikācijas veidiem, šinī gadījumā vienu Austrālijas aborigēnu pasaules iedalījumu, kurā katram lietvārdam teikumā obligāti priekšā jābūt pareizajam no četriem apzīmētājvārdiem, kas ar to saistīts:
Bayi: men, kangaroos, possums, bats, most snakes, most fishes, some birds, most insects, the moon, storms, rainbows, boomerangs, some spears, etc.
Balan: women, anything connected with water or fire, bandicoots, dogs, platypus, echidna, some snakes, some fishes, most birds, fireflies, scorpions, crickets, the stars, shields, some spears, some trees, etc.
Balam: all edible fruit and the plants that bear them, tubers, ferns, honey, cigarettes, wine, cake.
Bala: parts of the body, meat, bees, wind, yamsticks, some spears, most trees, grass, mud, stones, noises, language, etc.
It is a list that any Borges fan would take delight in.
