Actually, I had been thinking of the bit immediately before that quote.
(Thank you DD-B et al. for the wonders of searchable text!)  "Her lineage
block, similarly, is in the form of a downward-pointing arrowhead or
triangle, entirely self-contained, with no lines either entering or
emerging, as if her maternal ..."

Interestingly, the book search has 'begat' rather than 'begotten'.  DD-B,
did you mention something about the source for the search text?  I know I
will find it invaluable.  If I can recall a word or two, I don't have to be
