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

IMHO it would be just as easy to do a mail shirt as it would

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]](Wizards_Com Boards Cuendillar (2)_fichiers/wink.gif)

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! My web page, new
