Yes, yes.  In addition, Bölcsesség == Wisdom.  The question is,
which account is more accurate?

Also, was it that those Dragaerans who were present simply did not
hear the horse talk, did they refrain from discussing what they heard
afterwards, or did Paarfi leave that part out of his history because
he thought it was too fantastic, not to mentioned raising some
unnerving questions about what *really* happened? 

And so on and so forth.

I might suggest that *metaphorically* at least, Khaavren, for one, did
seem to hear the voice of Wisdom.  Which allows for the possibility
that he heard it *literally* from the Horse.

But he might have chosen not to speak of it.

Or perhaps it's the other way around.  Who can say?

I note that it's interesting that Paarfi does at least emphasize that
the Horse was important to the Dragaerans, which suggests that he
wishes to at least hint that there was more to the horse that got in
the way of the sorcerous blast than would otherwise be the case.
Other horses in his narratives are treated a lot more cavalierly.
