Mnhei'sahe is primarily occupied with courtesy to the people around one: this courtesy, depending on circumstances, may require killing a person to do him honor, or severely disadvantaging oneself on his behalf. There are many ramifications too involved to go into, but generall Mnhei'sahe is satisfied if all the parties to an agreement feel that their "face" or honor is intact after a (social) or other transaction. NB: The concept has occasionally been mistranslated as implying that a given action is done "for another person's good." This is incorrect; such a concept literally does not exist in Rihannsu culture. One does things for one's own good -- or rather, the good of one's honor, and if properly carried out, the actions in question will have benefitted the other parties in the transaction as well.)

Note on New Words
You may attempt to make new words on your own, but
it would be much preferred if you contacted Khedak (the dictionary
keeper) about new words. Also, there are more invented words
than this; Khedak has them and may make a seperate list of them soon,
so ask, it may already be invented!
Canon Nature of Invented Words
If an invented word can be proven to be null due to
the existance of a canon word of the same meaning. Canon sources
are The Romulan Way, and My, Enemy, My Ally. Notify
Khedak and he will replace the invented term with the canon term.
