nusuth
It was an introverted life, self-sufficient, stagnant,
steeped in that singular "ignorance" prized by the
Hand-darata and obedient to their rule of inactivity
or noninterference. That rule (expressed in the word
nusuth, which I have to translate as "no matter") is
the heart of the cult, and I don't pretend to understand it.
-- Ursula K. Le Guin
