Treating the issue of hadron masses and mass relations by the use of quantum
groups U_q(su_n) taken as hadron flavor symmetries suggests, at least in the
case of baryons, a direct connection of the deformation parameter q with the
Cabibbo angle. We discuss possible manifestations of the Cabibbo mixing implied
by such connection, including unusual ones.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX; talk given at the 5th International
