About Parley who I’m working with currently: “Parley derives from the old french verb “parler” to speak. Parley is a discussion, conference, debate, sometimes used to bring about truce or change. We chose the name because we like it and because we think good relationships, ideas, learning and progress occurs when time and space is created for quality conversation.”
Dialogue comes from French as does conversation, communication, discussion and critique.
Space and echo are also French.
Market is derived from the French marché and transaction is also French.
Sound is sonore in French and words are les mot or les paroles.
