>Maybe there is a relationship between these fundamental unlearned >(I think) physical actions and our metaphorical use of the terms "high" >and "low". Also, when you hear a loud bass sound (through speakers or due to natural phenomena), you feel it in your "gut", and "hear" it in part by bone conduction. Higher frequency sounds are percieved totally through your ears, which are vertically higher (most of the time). -David
