As I remember it, text says approx. "Among jhereg the female is dominant. Among Jhereg the issue is still undecided." That's not dimorphism, but it's related. This is where (the jhereg who is about to be named) Rocza has saved Vlad's life in the battle with Mellar, Aliera & others have just teleported in with Loiosh, and the two jhereg are getting acquainted. Or maybe it's in the next scene, when Vlad is recovering in Castle Black. -- Mark A. Mandel http://cracksandshards.com a Steven Brust Dragaera fan website
