	Close, but no cigar.  As I have stated before, in this very
	newsgroup, 'man' meant adult human.  'Wifman' meant female adult
	human, and 'carlman' or 'wereman' (yes, werewolf means "man-wolf")
	meant male adult human.  'Human' has a latin origin, while 'man' has a
	germanic origin.

Actually, as I learned in German class, "Werwolf" means "who-wolf"
(The "e" was added to make "werewolf" because English doesn't like
letter combinations like -rw-).
