A new addition to my vocabulary: autochthonous
au·toch·tho·nous : Originating where found; indigenous
Sentence: Legislation towards an autochthonous legal system
What it actually means: Legislation towards a native legal system.
Shorter is often more succinct.
Which of course brings me to the real question: How exactly do you pronounce autochthonous???
Or, for that matter, autochthonal and autochthonic?
