"Aliera e'Kieron" means she's descended from him, right? So there is a blood relationship. No doubt very remote, as you say. By the way, since we're talking about female Dragaerans too, do Dragons ever inherit their "e'" surname from their mother? And will Steven ever record a Dragon's name so we can hear how that prefix is pronounced? (I suspect it's ee as in tree.) Jerry Friedman __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
