So, I noticed while reading the Dissection of the enxt to last chapter of Fatal Revenant, that more than 1 Staff are Staves (not sure why I never noticed it before). It's been theorized there is more Time travel to come and that may cause two Staves to be present in the same time (3 if you count the former Master). Any connection to Stave's name and the Staff of Law?
And then of course there is Hollian and Sunder's son Anele. SRD is very fond of the using the word anele, and Hollain told Linden that after her plans are doomed (as they inevitibly will be) that Anele is the alst hope for the Land. I wonder how he will anele the Land? Since one of the problems with the Land is the breaking of of the Law of Life to bring Anele into the world, does this mean Anele may have to somehow sacrifice himself to repair the Law of Life while aneling the Land?

I have picked up on Anele's name being connected with his potential role as the healer of the Earth, or something along those lines.
As for Stave... I don't see this name as implying a connection to the Staff of Law. I see it more as an indication that he is Linden's "crutch". He helps her stand up to what she must face.
Let's not forget Mahrtiir, whose name just happens to sound like "martyr". Mahrtiir is looking for a way to go out in a blaze of glory. That's pretty obvious.
Then there is the Harrow ... who tries to be a harrowing experience.
And don't forget Roger. He's over and out.

Mr. D. is very fond of names implying something, often more than one thing.
The hard part is to figure out which ones mean, then which meaning.
Harrow has a positive meaning [a thing used to prepare a field for planting]
as well as what WF noted.
Stave is also a post that's part of a supportive frame, put a hole in, and to prevent something from happening...all of which have some interesting relevance, at least in theory.
The Anele def's are particularly interesting since his father was Sunder, to break apart. What a team.
I'm sure there are a lot of these things scattered around the Watch.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Yea, Anele I caught right away, but, had forgotten about him being the Land's last hope, interesting about his Father Sunder, hadn't thought of that.wayfriend wrote:I have picked up on Anele's name being connected with his potential role as the healer of the Earth, or something along those lines.
Ooh, Martiir, though, I noticed the Character was very Martyr-like, I hadn't noticed the similarity of his name until you mentioned it.

I also thought of Stave as a word meaning to ward, ie "to stave off" as in resisting an attack.
