On the the topic of CLH as related to prayer etc. and jumping into the debate 
late without reading the beginning of the thread (erased by error etc.) would 
there be a connection between CLA and calyan ("tsalyan"), a pilgrim, one 
traveling to a certain destination on a religious urge, need or imperative, 
hence proximity to prayer, or am I too far off?
