When Kossara Vymezal emerges from among the ychan delegation to address the Shkoptsina:
"A moan lifted out of the benched humans, as if the fall wind had made entry; the zmayi uttered a surflike rumble." (p. 560)
("Ychani" and "zmayi" are, respectively, the Serbic and Eriau names for the Dennitzan Merseians.)
Perfect. Our old friend, the autumn wind, which had accompanied the march through Zorkagrad, seems to have entered the parliament building. We know that zmay voices can be described as rumbling and most of the zmayi/ychani live on the Obala, the east coast of the colonized continent.
Every syllable of the text resonates with significance.

Kaor, Paul!
As so often, you notice and comment on details I never thought before to particularly take note of! (Smiles)
Ad astra! Sean
