My reaction to "Pajarocu" is that it sounded a lot like words from
indigenous tribes from the Amazon. To be specific, it brought to mind
"pirarucu", a large fish which is one of the staple foods of the
region. It's sufficiently well known that I learned about it in elementary
school in southern Brazil...

I've been lurking on the conversation, so, now that I've started talking
again, perhaps I should say that I too am rather amazed at
"Blue"... Wolfe's books just seem to get more and more complex, more and
more artful, more and more entrancing.
