Profession in Arusian: Some notable words in English are small sentences (phrases) in Arusian. In fact, speakers of Arusian (like me) don't often use single words for "teacher", "king" or "police officer" but instead would say, "he enforces the law" or "she teaches" in place of "police man" or "teacher." Profession is a bit weird in Arusian. Examples below.... soP rAcP us .
