    Oh, well, Im trying to create a literate society or so.

    So by: INDEPENDENT CONFEDERATION
    i mean a society

    For: SLEEPING
    i mean something forgotten which may be discovered, sleeping

    And for: WORD
    i mean letters or word, in a literary sense, as in a literary work

    Общество забытых слов.

    But really I looked into this thread to find out what the heck was meant by "hails". That is not ordinarily (read 99.99% not) an English word.

    Передумал -- Общество забытого слова.
    Как голосуют русскоязычные??

    What happened to independent? And why not literally translate "sleeping"?

    Независимое Общество Спящего Слова
    Independent Society of the Sleeping Word

    Независимая Конфедерация Спящего Слова
    Independent Confederation of the Sleeping Word

    - hail·er /hA-l&r/ noun"
