I'm not sure what angreal means, though I belive it has a strong reference to focus possibly focal point, or concentration.
There is actually much that is left in grey areas in even the little that we have.
for example cuedillar is derivative of cuebiyar which means heart, and it appears that dillar means stone or rock, however; it still leaves much to be interpreted. Like the fact that Shae'en m'taal means stone dogs, but which word truely means stone and which dogs. If we knew which the word of greater importance was in the name, then we would know the answer, because the m' prefix means the and specifically denotes importance (like in Machin Shin - The Wind of Black and Mandhi - The Seeker). I would presume that stone would have the greater significance, and that the plural would be in dogs, which would make it Dogs of The Stone which has implications of meaning that we can only speculate on (like the one going through my mind now Dogs of the Stone of Tear - they who would take the Stone). This being the case, how do dillar and taal relate? Does one mean rock, or is heart stone really the true interpretation? I suspect that dillar does not truely translate as stone or rock, but this leaves the question as to what it really means. [Big Grin]

and here I just thought RJ made up the words and had fun with it... silly me

It doesn't worry me personally, I'm from the UK, we got the bok before Christmas for frells sake so I read it ages ago. Unfortunately there will be quite a few people around who haven't read it yet. Still, anyone can make an easy mistake like that and I can't even begin to think that I'm blameless of the occassional screw up. All is forgiven [Wink]

Stupidity is not a crime, so you're free to go.
Normal people frighten me. I've never heard of freinds or relatives of serial killers saying, "He was crazy, I knew he was going to snap sooner or later and start killing people". They always seem to say, "He was such a nice normal young man", etc. Atleast with crazy people, you know to watch your back!
