Message-ID: <00bb01ab39ac$ba3d7c80$81422cc8-+AT+-alex> Hy List-persons (I don't presume to call you 'List-sibs' since I'm new to this list and you haven't allowed me to do so. Maybe in the future ;) ) I read the Valdemar-series a while ago and came accross some things that remind me of my Japanese clases. 1. 'nya' is how Japanese write the sound cats make, the same way we occidentals write 'miau'. Nyara is a feline changechild... 2. Japanese use to the sufix 'jin' to define someone's nationality. I'm Venezuelian, so in Japanese I would be 'Venezuela-jin'. Now there are the Shina-in the people of the Prairies and the Kalenda-in... (Taledras don't cound because taledras doesn't define where they live but meands 'Hawkbrothers'.) 3. The Shinain word for 'yes' is 'hai'. The Japanese word for 'yes' is also 'hai'. As Skif said, 3 is conspiracy... so has anyone found other such things in her other books (I haven't read anything besides the Valdemar and the Elvenbane series), or know something about it?

You don't really need permission to call us list sibs, but if that is what you want then, " I would consider it a great compliment if you would call us your list sibs."

Message-ID: <4f.699f644.27a24bae-+AT+-aol.com> Talia was the one I always really wanted to meet. She was always my favorite. I guess mainly cause it was her story which made me fall in love with Misty books. I guess after that I'd really like to meet Vanyel and Lendel/Stef. I just think that they'd be cool to meet....although I'd rather meet them as 'real' people not ghosts. Flesh and bone is more my style :) Amanda ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 25 Jan 2001 19:58:55 -0800 (PST) From: Erin Klein To: mercedes-lackey-+AT+-herald.co.uk Subject: towels for the newbies Message-ID: <20010126035855.11622.qmail-+AT+-web10411.mail.yahoo.com> Hey, why do they got to be sheep shaped towels?

Maybe in the future ;) ) Well, Winterleaf, consider it the future! All of us are "List-Sibs", whether old or new, lurker or list-poster-extraordinaire (sp?). And since I think you've already been splooshed by our List-Sib with the Enchanted Bucket (you know who you are!), you've definetely been welcomed! And to all you newbies, the same welcome is extended! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starshadow wrote: >Also, I was wondering if anyone remembered a while >back ago when we had bond-birds available.

A heavy weight suddenly jumps into her lap, and she looks down into Styx's silver eyes. The cat puts one paw up, and gently bats her chin...* :Don't even think about it, Li'nia. If you get a bondbird, I'll get an afternoon snack...: *She stared aghast at the jet-coloured feline for a moment, and then started to laugh, hugging him gently* (((Personally, I'd love to have one, but I don't think Styx would care for it too much!))) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Starshadow wrote: >Okay, now I need an Ob-Misty so okay, let me put my >word in for the Misty Character I would most like to >meet.

Not to mention his being a mage, Misty's description of him makes me at least really want to see him, you know? Oh, okay, so I'm pathetic...
