[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Treknophyle: "Any other ideas?" Perhaps the species names are written in Okudaic?You know, the language that consists solely of seemingly meaningless rows of numbers. The Feds can read that language without problems - perhaps this is the "linguacode" referred to in TMP, a truly universal language so close to perfection that even the Borg appreciate it. There's an odd lack of references to low four-digit species. The over-representation of low three-digit species could be excused in the chronologial interpretation because most of these are Delta species and/or mentioned because they contributed trademark Borg technologies or drone types, logically assimilated early on. The lack of anything between 571 and 3259 is odd, though. One could assume that species beyond 3259 would be "hot topics" because they are recent findings and the Borg have recently messed around with people our heroes are familiar with. Indeed, this is true for four out of the ten 4-digiters. Incidentally, why can't #6291 be the Yridians from TNG/DS9? Their mistaken extinction probably was something applying to pre-TNG or early TNG times, as the rediscovery was old news and inspiration for Janeway when she was moving up the Starfleet ladder. And even if we see TNG Yridians in ENT, there's plenty of time for them to get pseudo-extinct prior to TNG. (And perhaps plenty of reason for "information merchants" to fake their own deaths...)
