Registrations, ranges and utilisation

A guest from far away is dearer than a guest from nearby.

ХьэщIэ гъунэгъу нэхърэ хьэщIэ жыжьэ нэхъ лъапIэщ

Adiga Xabze grades hospitality by degree and ranks the guest who has travelled furthest above the guest who lives nearby, in recognition of the hardship borne to make the journey. The Airline carries people across a distance to a homeland, which places its passengers in the category the code holds highest. It is the standard the cabin is trained to rather than a sentiment.What that means in practice.
