You could simply write the indices into a sequence (tuple),
instead of stacking multiple dimensions of indices:

Human = {}
I = {}

Human[('isKindOf', 'beast')] = None

I[('like', 'mixing', ('smoking', 'thinking'))] = True

That would be easier and more efficient.  Can you provide
a real-world example where your Rhash approach offers a
real advantage?

Best regards
