hmmm...seems to be a lot of Japanese and Tribal references...I think the Japanese ones sound more likely from what little of the language I have picked up from the Japanese I know...

I'll have to a)evoke the "armil" argument and discard all multiples and b) say it sounds African, or at least Caribbean, and therefore go with H

it looks like we be needing only votes from Faldo and beck123 to complete this round in record time (but who's keeping track?).

by the bye, I posted this under my 'normal' rubric just to remind people that I are the hogmaster® - evidently someone is upset around discovery of my use of multiple IDs; I've been using 'hogmaster' here for hogwash™ games for over five(5) years. no ruse intended.

I agree with your conclusion and I hope Avy will not let her vote dangle on our 6th sense for too long.

Don't start without me!!! I vote for E, because there's only one among them that I'm SURE is wrong, and all the others sound like gibberish to me!

Note to self: do not pop into awad with mind/2.
