Flier and flyer. Dray Prescot has made it clear early on by spelling out the two words that by
flier
he means a voller or airboat. By
flyer
he means a man or woman who fly any one of the marvelous winged creatures of Kregen. Also, by
saddle-flyer
he means the bird or animal itself.

The nit of Earth is the egg of the louse, whereas on Kregen the word
nit is
clearly applied to the louse itself. This is interesting — and the reference to
Nathian
here, clearly, is to Tyr Nath, the Kregen Hercules.

One of those annoying gaps in the record of the Tapes from Rio de Janeiro occurs immediately after Prescot tells us that he was pitched into the basket of shonages. We have lost all details of his journey to and arrival in Sumbakir, and of the official attitude to him and Avec and Ilter. As, also, excruciatingly, we have lost what happened immediately after he took his fruit-stained face out of the shonages.
A.B.A.

This is lost.
