There are Uplift aliens that require sapients to wear clothing. Other sapients require very formal languages. Why not have a race that defines sapiency as the use of language only. The P' T' Kirkina. To the P' T' Kirkina, all noises made by animals belong only to animals. If a sapient being makes an animal noise, that race is reclasified to them as deserving only the status of an animal. All Terragen agents have to refrain from eating the day before they meet a P' T' Kirkina. And an enema the day of the meeting. ---The one word email response from our good Dr. Brin: Ew!
