You mean this?:
FHYA, chapter 8, p. 103(mmpb):
Her lineage block, similarly, is in the form of a
downward-pointing arrowhead or triangle, entirely self-contained,
with no lines entering or emerging, as if her maternal and
paternal ancestor had appeared from nowhere at all, begotten her,
and vanished."

Linguistic note: He says "arrowhead". Hey, I thought those were new!
Although perhaps they were better known by the time of Norathar's
reign.
