Antonio P. Marques- Incanto (I think) calls Jahlee 'Judastree' in Sinew's village.

Hm..I admit you've lost me. Cercis siliquastrum is a small tree found in the Middle East and S. Europe. I assume it got its name from Mr. Iscariot's place of suicide. Possible to get help in explaining how it relates to Jahlee or boots? Related to Horn calling "#%&#@#@" as Seawrack? Now me, after reading BotNS would call Jahlee as "Jahi" or maybe Lilith.

Legend has it that the tree had white flowers, but blushed when J. I. hanged himself on it (saying, according to a reliable source, "When he's cold and dead, will he let me be? Does he love me too? Does he care for me?"), which is why it has pink flowers now.

I think it relates to how Incanto feels about Jahlee's trustworthiness, anyway. Jerry Friedman

Folk lore says it was a fig tree. The english "Judas tree" may be a misconstruction of the latin/romance for "Judea's tree".

Oh, the boots thing is just one portuguese expression for 'a place far away nobody wants to have to go to from here'.

I don't get Incanto's mistrust of Jahlee at that specific point, but the relevant part is the use of the name 'Judas' in the Whorl's universe. Conjoined 'Judastree' may be evidence that he knew not what the components meant, but the idea of treason seems to be is there. Either way, if it wasn't there by Horn's time, it was there at some earlier point.

I think he chose it as a treasonous cognate to "Jahlee" which means "false". But Jahlee says people wouldn't like her real name there. Are we to assume they speak Sanskrit or Hindi?

Possibly arabic, given the number of trivigauntis.

Which raises the question: do the Vironese speak spanish? I mean, they don't, but their 'high speech' which they seldom use is probably spanish.
