	"A young man was forbidden by our ancient mores to appear
	naked in the bath, and modesty began to take root in the
	soul of the people."
				--Cicero, "On the Republic"

	A number of people, intruding in what is a res coniugis, have
	remarked on the inadequacy of my genitives.  To these people,
	I say mind your own business.  To others, I will agree that
	it should be:

		coniunx -iugis concubine etc.
