Sanskrit, that feeling-rich language that is the basis of most East Indian tongues, has 96 terms for love. Ancient Persian has eighty. Greek has three. And we have only one. The Eskimo language has thirty words for snow since snow is such a vital element in their lives. If we had thirty words for relationship, we would be better equipped to observe that important dimension of our lives.
