OTOH, GWs have personalities. What kind of personalities? We might
speculate:OTOH, GWs have personalities. What kind of personalities? We
might speculate:

	seventeen GWs : seventeen Houses

We only "feel" two of these Weapons' personalities from their wielders'
POV, and those personalities have pretty clear associations:

	Godslayer/Lady Teldra : Issola
	Blackwand : Dragon

Given your description of Állam (which I agree with), it too has an
obvious House style:

	Állam : Dzur

Having said that, I must agree with the rest of your analysis.

No, her lover's cousin. Adron was Verra's lover, and he died in his
Disaster (although...). Aliera, their daughter, is cousin to Morrolan, who
has held Blackwand since Sethra Lavode gave it to him (with some prompting
or reminders from Chaz, IIRC).
