"Iret" is a pretty weak curse. You should take that back to the drawing board. And, seriously, lighten up.

The ground curves up and over. The Ngolu live on the inside of a tube. I suppose they'll have a word for the space in the middle of the tube, but on Earth, they'd probably borrow a word for sky because it looks very different.
