          "text": "I've discovered (unless somebody's already mentioned this) an apparent\ninconsistency in the descriptions of the inhumi breeding process.  In RttW\nHorn tells Juganu \"I know that your eggs must be hatched in sun-warmed\nwater\" (384), and two pages later Juganu states that the eggs and sperm are\nreleased while the inhumi are swimming in the water.  But in Fava's second\nstory (IGJ, 129-30), Fava clearly hatches not in the water, but on a\nriverbank in the rotted remains of a hut.\n\nAre there two species of inhumi, one laying its eggs in the water and one on\nland?  (Possible, but this would really be a pointless complication.)  Is\nFava distorting the facts for some reason?  (Saying Juganu is lying won't\naccount for it, because Fava's story is also contradicted by Horn's remark,\nmade before he hears Juganu's story.)  Or did Wolfe slip up?\n\n--Adam\n\n\n*This is WHORL, for discussion of Gene Wolfe's Book of the Long Sun."
