  1. Well, but whales aren’t tool-users, so I presume their language is almost devoid of expressions describing „actions by way of“.  It will likely have many descriptions of structure (since they have sonar), feelings and social relations since they’re social and long-lived. They’ll talk about currents and waves and temperature and will probably have a rich vocabulary for propulsion and diving.  They may have developed special words for human vessels such as speedboats, hangar ships, sail ships, submarines, whaling ships aso and perhaps explosives and oil rigs?

  2. I remember the umbrella assassination of Georgi Markov in London. The pellet delivering the poison was actually found embedded in the victim's leg muscle, but so late no residue of poison could be detected on it. That is was ricin is a qualified guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ricin_bullet_size.png
