Ready to get to know enigmatic Lady Ilganyag a little better? Like Ruckmearkha, I think she comes off even creepier when she smiles. But she does try.

Long ago in chapter 8, when Sette related to Duane what this horrible bird thing had shrieked at her - "Malakhomit" - Duane translated it as "Runaway." Sette, however, heard "Run away!" Now if you were a very close reader who paid attention to how Tainish works, you might have 'caught that -it ending and thought it sus. It's seen in Ssaelit and galit and many other Tainish words that are talking about something that a person is. And you might (and I know some people did) figure out that Sette misheard her attack zombie.Now, what does Lady Ilganyag mean by her "runaways?" Let's see.
