[edit] Incorrect

This page is not technically correct. According to the player-compiled Tau Lexicon (which sites a GW publication), Tau A to Z and GW's Gue'la Auxiliary Army, Gue'la is the term applied to humans allied with the Tau. I'm going to mark this page as a stub for now, and if changes haven't been made in a week or so return and take a stab at making more comprehensive article.

According to my copy of the Tau empire codex, 'la' is one of the suffixes used by the Tau to denote an individuals rank within their caste. For instance, common fire warrior troopers are 'Shas'la' while their team leaders may be 'Shas'ui' and a force commander a 'Shas'el'. Presumably 'Gue' is the prefix used to denote a human (or possibly it just means 'alien'). Thus 'Gue'vesa' means 'human helper' (or 'alien ally' or whatever) and 'Gue'la' means human soldier (or 'low ranking alien'). 212.57.228.21 10:49, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
