Note; Lanya e'Kieron herself was a female, and the "founder" of the e'Lanya line. Hence, her descendants used their mother's name, rather than their father's. Of course, the conventional rules of naming may go out the window when you're talking about the founder of an entire lineage. We don't have firm gender info about most of the other lineage namesakes, except for Kieron and Baritt, who are both male. Terics and Marish'Chala's gender are not specified. Tenith, Mondaar, and Zisya are not ever specifically mentioned, other than as the names of existing lineages. It is possible that Terics e'Marish'Chala was female (although I speculate that he was *not*). Drien, of course, was *both* so this doesn't help much, either. Majikjon
