Well, my interpretation is that someone dying to prime the knife doesn't 
preclude her bones being used as a knife.  Even if a priming donor's 
bones can't be used, there still would be enough bones because each bone 
donor has 2 to donate.

A couple questions: 

Can a Farmer's bones be used to create sharing knives?  Does it just 
take a Lakewalker maker to create an unprimed knife, using any human bones?
Can a Farmer's death prime a sharing knife?  Can Fawn prime a knife at 
the time of her death?  Her baby priming Dag's knife, as said earlier, 
is a special case.
Will Dag and Fawn's children be Lakewalker, Farmer or will it be luck of 
the draw for which one?  Hmmm... wonder if Dag knows the answer to that 
one--I doubt this will be the first time it's happened.
What is it about Lakewalker lovers that often drive Farmers past the 
point of reason?  It's almost like an addiction.

I've got a theory as to why Fawn is so inquisitive, despite her family 
being so dismissive of her.  Yes, her parents and brothers were that 
way, but it seemed her Aunt Nettie was always supportive of her and 
encouraged her.  IIRC, Fawn was only looking forward to seeing her aunt 
and dreading seeing everyone else.
