An Insult

"'Frankly,' Chee Lan said, 'speaking between friends and meaning no offense, you're full of fewmets. How can one uninhabitable piece of thawed hell matter that much to anybody?'" (Chapter XII, p. 443) (For full reference, see here.)

I thought that "fewmets" was a Cynthian term until I googled it. (The Wikipedia article to which I have linked is being considered for deletion.)

Falkayn explains why Satan is a potential source of wealth:

Falkayn spells out why Satan alone is ideal for producing heavier isotopes. This cannot be done:

on inhabited planets because heat and radioactive waste would make them uninhabitable;
on uninhabited planets because heat waste added to solar radiation would vaporize the rivers needed for coolants;
on uninhabited planets with orbiting albedo-raising dust clouds because these would trap home-grown heat;
in newly formed systems because factories would be bombarded by meteors and asteroids;
on airless planets because the necessary heat exchangers are expensive and put engineering limits on the size of a plant;
on Jovoid planets because free hydrogen diffuses through materials and interferes with nuclear reactions;
on ordinary rogue planets because temperatures near absolute zero affect the properties of matter and because liquid water and gaseous atmosphere are necessary coolants.

Chee Lan is small, female and from Cynthia whereas Adzel is large, male and from Woden. Thus, the planetary names suit the characters.
