Talk:Sentience

From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.

To be honest, I know nothing of the English derivation and usage of "sentient" outside of Star Trek. But Merriam-Webster seems to have the opposite opinion when comparing sapient[1] (and sagacious[2]) to sentient[3]. Aholland, can you provide references we can source for the denotation you express here? Opusaug 22:50, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
