auto-autonomo-autochthoneity may be a suitable term but I doubt if anyone
has ever herd it or even less understands it being as I just concatenated it
on the spot.
Language is not reliable at all and your previos post only goes to show how
many concepts within the euro-centric field of disability studies is
cultural/linguistic dependent and therefore not necessarilly as universal as
those who espouse the linguistic circumlocutions would belive them to be.
Language like maths falls foul of Godels conundrum that it relys upon other
words to define itself and thus like mathematics there can be no universal
proof of a words substance and meaning between the languages it is
translated into.
