Word of the Week
sophont (n.): an intelligent being; a being with base reasoning capacity roughly equivalent to or greater than that of a human being. [Wiktionary]
Evil, they argued, could only have meaning on smaller scales, in the hurt one sophont does to another. (Vernor Vinge, A Fire Upon the Deep)
How do you define something that is like a human, but not human? The classic RPG solution is to use the word race, but this carries connotations related to the idea of human ethnicity. Sophont (From the Greek σοφός, sophós, ‘wise’) is a 1960s coinage that fills this linguistic gap. A sophont, much like the Old English wiht, is something sentient, a person, but not Homo sapiens.
