This may be an easy one, but anyway...

What was the name of the original Hyland ship?

Nick pronounced it Thermo-pile.

The correct pronunciation was Ther-mo-pyle, with a 'y' sound at the end, like Ther-mo-pilly - I think :D

That's close enough. I would have gone Ther-MOP-uh-lee, but you have the syllable accent and ending vowel correct, so I'm happy.

Ewe might love that I'm leaving the obscenity behind, as I think most of us are aware that this term probably doesn't belong in a family forum! ;)

Now for the question...

What parallel to his own life experience did Angus recognize in sympathizing with Norna.

(Note: There's a very specific term I'm looking for...)

Correct! "the Crib" was the primary twisting horror from his infancy, and avoiding it metaphorically was the driving force of his life. He recognized Norna's situation as being a (very high tech) version.

To be honest, I've always been reticent declaring this a family forum, considering it's founded on our appreciation of books about a leperous rapist... ;)
