Main Entry: ar·cha·ic
Pronunciation: är-'kA-ik
Function: adjective
Etymology: French or Greek; French archaïque, from Greek archaïkos, from archaios

1 : having the characteristics of the language of the past and surviving chiefly in specialized uses <an archaic word>

...I assume this means you are refering to "nations" in the PAST...vs nations TODAY.

2 : of, relating to, or characteristic of an earlier or more primitive time : ANTIQUATED <archaic legal traditions>

...this comes closest to you...because it is "primitive"...and you DO talk and reason like some early Cro-Magnon.

3 capitalized : of or belonging to the early or formative phases of a culture or a period of artistic development; especially : of or belonging to the period leading up to the classical period of Greek culture

...not relevant here...

4 : surviving from an earlier period; specifically : typical of a previously dominant evolutionary stage

...key again is PREVIOUS...try to catch up.

...also not relevant.

....so. If you want to talk to people, especially people who wear clothes and cook their meat TODAY about your claims of being a nation TODAY...you would get farther, or more to the point, NOWHERE, if you used TODAY`S version of the word....no?
