Like some others of you I recently saw this post on the Manchu-Study
list. I was intrigued by this reference to "Sewe." Is there some way
to put this into a research perspective? What could be meant here by
"Sewe"? What word meaning "god" is like "sewe"? Is there a shamanic
arcane? Makes sense, I just don't know of research on this.
